Cinnabark

PPU3-20

Cinnabark is a deep brown with a red bark undertone. It goes deep. The shade can ground built-ins, a study, or an exterior shutter color with a traditional feel.

Poor lighting will make it read nearly black-brown, so use it where contrast is intentional. Creamy trim helps the red base feel warm. Bright white may sharpen it too much.
