Burnished Clay

PPU18-09

Burnished Clay is warm greige-taupe. It is understated enough for open living areas but warmer than a plain gray. Stone floors and linen upholstery sit easily with it.

Cool light moves it toward greige. Warm bulbs reveal more beige. Off-white trim keeps contrast low. Bright white cabinets will make the warmth show, so test near millwork before choosing it for nearby walls.

Burnished Clay 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.
