Using auburn in your home

Auburn brings more color than most browns, so give it a clear job. Use it in a dining room, powder bath, pantry, door, or cabinet bank with cream, black, olive, navy, or warm gray. South light can brighten Scorched Willow toward copper. North light makes Spiced Vale browner. Avoid pairing it with pink beige tile. The red in both surfaces can clash instead of looking related.

Frequently asked questions

Is Auburn brown or red?

Auburn is reddish brown. In a room, it usually reads as brown first and red second.

Yes, auburn shutters can suit brick, stone, cream siding, and dark roofs. Test outdoors because sun makes the red more obvious.
