Why it works: Pairing baby pink with mocha makes for a cheerful, retro, almost-edible combo. At the deeper end of the spectrum, intense raspberry creates a dramatic foil for rich, dark chocolate. Both are yummy—and deliciously playful. "The pink pops against that soft, warm background, and the brown brings out pink's own warmth," Eckstut says.Variations: Lavender and brown is another candy-hued combo, while brown with rust or red are distinctly autumnal alternatives.
Easy idea: Edge a set of brown throw pillows with a band of pink ribbon, braided rope or fringe, or give them a graphic look with iron-on designs from a craft store, suggests Toronto color consultant Jane Lockhart, host of HGTV's Get Color! and the author of Room Recipes: Cooking Up Style With Color.
