Tandoori

M170-7

Tandoori is a spiced red-orange with a browned clay base. It feels robust. Consider it for a dining room, powder room, front door, or island color when warmth should be obvious.

Good companions include creamy trim and dark metal. In shadow, it deepens toward brick. Sunlight brings out the orange. Avoid cool pinks nearby, because they may make the red-orange look harsh. A washable sheen is wise in busy spaces.

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.
