Baywood Brown

1234

Baywood Brown is a muted neutral with brown and red undertones that keep it warm. Its LRV of 34.09 gives it mid-range depth, so it reads solid on walls. Warm light emphasizes the red note slightly.

It is suitable for living rooms, dining rooms, or offices where a warm neutral is needed. Pair it with White Dove and Muslin for tonal balance, and add Hale Navy or Hunter Green for contrast.

Baywood Brown 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.
