Pinata

MQ1-26

Pinata is a warm terracotta orange with a softened red undertone. The color has movement. It suits a dining nook, entry bench wall, or exterior accent where sun-washed warmth belongs.

At scale, the brown note keeps it from going too bright. Bring in ivory, black iron, or pale concrete. Cool northern light can mute it, so test before using it in a shaded room.

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.
