Antique Earth

PPU5-03

Antique Earth carries warm warm brown-gray with a clay undertone. The clay-brown base gives cabinets a steady, earthy read. Try it in a den or on cabinetry if an earthy neutral is needed.

Cream trim and leather will support the warmth. Cool tile may leave the color looking dull, so test it beside the floor before deciding. A leather chair will echo the warmth. Warm lamps make the brown kinder.

Antique Earth in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

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.
