Mac N Cheese

M260-5

Mac N Cheese is a warm golden orange, rich enough to feel playful but not neon. The orange-gold cast really does suggest melted cheese. Use it where a happy color makes sense, such as a breakfast nook, craft room, or painted sideboard.

On full walls, it can become stronger than the chip suggests. Cream trim softens the edge, and blue accents give the orange a crisp counterpoint. In low light, expect it to move toward caramel.
