Almond Biscuit

S250-2

Natural light helps Almond Biscuit show amber warmth without becoming too forced. Peach sits underneath. It works in bedrooms or sunny breakfast corners where greige feels too gray.

Set it beside soft on the trim and pale wood. In rooms with cool counters or gray carpet, the peach side can become stronger. Use a large sample near those fixed surfaces.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
