Pair rich browns with lighter neutrals
Deep brown tones create warmth and depth in formal portraits. Balance them with beige or taupe furniture and soft textiles to avoid a heavy look. The warm brown background in Francisca Sabasa y Garcia - Portrait woman old master of Francisco Goya pairs beautifully with cream cushions or natural wood furniture.

Work with teal and grey accents

These cool tones work well with velvet cushions, linen curtains, or ceramic accessories in similar shades. The teal undertones in The Clothed Maja, Francisco Goya complement both modern and traditional interiors.
