Warm Colors
-
Complement the richness of the chocolate brown with a warm color. Warm colors usually contain red or yellow as their base. Warm colors range from a yellow-green to a reddish-orange. These earth-tone colors blend well with a chocolate brown. Combine the brown sofa with a curtain of a pastel shade of green to bring in the natural feel of an Asian room, or add a bright red or orange cotton-textured curtain to pop the color in the room.
Cool Colors
-
A cool color chills the warmth found in brown. Cool colors contain a blue base and range from blue-green to purple. If combined with a pastel or light shade of a cool color, such as robin egg blue, the brown becomes more dominant and takes center stage in the room. A darker shade of a cool color, such as forest green, matches the intensity of the chocolate brown and offsets the strong tones found in a chocolate brown.

Jewel Tones
-
Combine a chocolate brown with a jewel tone. Jewel tone colors are intense with a vivid hue. Examples of jewel tone colors include emerald green, amethyst purple, sapphire blue or ruby red. The bold tones of a jewel color become more intense when placed against the richness of the chocolate and create an interesting design. Pick a touchable fabric for your curtains, such as a soft chenille or a raw silk to emphasize the richness of the colors and textures found in the room.
Patterns
-
Blend the chocolate brown into a patterned fabric for the curtain. Combine a brown in a floral print with red and yellow flowers, or pick a dark green leaf pattern against a brown background. Choose a brown and black pinstripe accented with gold, brown accented with a tan pinstripe or a cream curtain with a brown stripe. Try a checkered pattern of orange, red, yellow and brown, or go for a geometric print of chocolate brown.
