Aztec Brick

2175-10

Aztec Brick is a deep orange-brown with warm red undertones that keeps it in an earthy range. The LRV of 14.97 indicates low reflectance, so it appears dense and dark on walls. In brighter light, the red-brown undertone becomes more noticeable.

It is suitable for accent walls, dining rooms, or built-ins where a heavier color is desired. Pair it with White Sand and Soft Chamois for warm neutrals, and use Hale Navy or Spellbound for contrast.
