Baked Pretzel

1126 / HC-74

Baked Pretzel is a warm brown with a light orange undertone that keeps it from reading flat. The LRV of 17.88 indicates low reflectance, so it looks dark and dense on walls. Warm light makes the orange note more apparent.

It is suitable for dining rooms, libraries, or accent walls where a deeper brown is needed. Pair it with Golden Straw and Tawny Bisque for warm support, and add Newburg Green or White Dove for contrast.

Baked Pretzel in Different Light

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.

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.
