The following monochrome shades match the RGB 185 149 74 shade: RGB 127 102 49, RGB 157 126 61, RGB 185 149 75, RGB 196 166 104 and RGB 208 184 134

The colors should be well chosen to achieve triadic harmony. Let one color dominate and use the other two as accent colors.

The rectangular or tetradish color scheme uses four colors arranged in two complementary pairs. This rich color scheme offers many variation possibilities.

The following tetraden shades match the RGB 185 149 74 shade: RGB 185 149 74, RGB 89 185 75, RGB 75 111 185 and RGB 170 75 185

It works best if you let one of these colors dominate. You should also pay attention to the balance between warm and cold colors in the design
