Here are some ways to mix black, brown and navy together. It's a common misconception that you can't mix these three, but here's the thing -- all of these are neutrals so they can really go with anything. It's more the tones of these colors that you have to pay attention to. For instance a nice medium brown pairs together more nicely with a deep black and more mid-range navy than say a dark chocolate brown and really dark navy.
