The base colour of new 10 rupees note is quite delicious, indeed, one could say, that's because it is chocolate brown.

New additions to the 10 rupees note, most commonly used in Indian currency, include fresh designs and geometric patterns featuring a rich representation of India's cultural heritage. These, for example, are symbols such as the motif of Sun Temple, Konark, depicted on the reverse side of the note, and an image of Mahatma Gandhi on the front side. A conscious effort seems to have been taken to make sure they fit in well with the primary or base colour scheme.
