Coconut Shell

PPU5-05

Coconut Shell is a medium warm brown with a tan-gray base. It stays earthy. The shade can ground lower cabinets, a bench, or a fireplace surround without feeling overly dark.

Rooms with little daylight may flatten it toward taupe. Sunlight brings out the shell-like warmth. Pale stone, cream walls, or black metal give it clean contrast. That restraint helps.
