How to use DMC 3022 in patterns
Medium Brown Gray sits in the Grays family and works as a neutral shadow and outline color. It is a natural fit for monochrome charts, shadows, lettering, stone, metal, and soft outlines, and for subtle detail where black would overpower the design.
- Pairs well with white, black, muted blues.
- Pattern ideas: monochrome portraits, modern typography, stone textures.
- Also useful for modern palettes with restrained contrast.
