Blair Gold

HC-22

Blair Gold is a medium ochre with a slight green undertone. Its LRV of 37.8 gives it a mid-depth presence on walls. It fits living rooms, dining rooms, or entries where a warm yellow-brown is needed.

Windham Cream and Hawthorne Yellow keep it within a warm range, while Boothbay Gray and Newburg Green provide cooler contrast. Caliente can add a controlled red accent.
