It is exciting to arrive upon a new color combination. In particular, for me, to discover a rich dark brown is truly a revelation. The dark brown shadow on the water, above, is from combining ivory black with burnt sienna.
This color adds so much to a watercolor painting. Sepia is another dark brown but I don't find it to have the freshness of this new combination.
With the light gray and greens of this image, the brown adds a crispness which clarifies the scene. This picture nearly has all neutral colors yet there is a lovey quality of light nonetheless..
