Coffee has a few standard related colors, with brown being the most common in word association. Here we list a few of the common colors you would pair with the word coffee. Included is the Hex color you can use for CSS, and a book that can pair with the color.

Brown: The Color of the Coffee Beans

The first thing you think of when you hear the word “coffee” is the rich and delicious, warm brown color of the roasted coffee beans, and the same brown in a fresh ground coffee. The brown color can range from the rich tan of lightly roasted beans to the deep rich and oily brown of a dark roasted coffee bean, common in a French Roast. The coffee brown is the best of all colors available.

Black: The Classic Color of Brewed Coffee

The second color you would associate with coffee is the deep and dark black in a fresh brewed coffee. If you prefer your coffee straight from the brew you probably love this color when associating colors with coffee. If you like your coffee with a little bit of milk, the black coffee is still the color you see before adding dairy or non-dairy milks. Some will say that adding the different milks will take away from the pure beauty and pure taste of a coffee. An even richer and seemingly darker black is the freshly made espresso, sans crema.

Beige: The Color of Coffee with added milks.

For coffee drinkers who prefer their coffee to stray away from the pure black the added milk of choice will result in what is probably your favorite coffee related color, beige. When adding the milks you know the exact color of beige that will taste the best for your coffee. Cream or half and half will bring your black coffee up to beige rather quickly. The beige is a little lighter than the pre-brewed brown color.

Red: The Color of the Coffee Cherry

What? Red coffee? Well, yes, because the coffee beans actually come from a red fruit called the coffee cherry. It is what is removed from the harvested bean to reveal the yummy unroasted coffee bean. Not exactly yummy, as you wouldn’t want to eat or drink your daily coffee from the raw green beans. Just seeing the bean right out of the red coffee cherry will get you thinking about a fresh cup of coffee.
