Coffeehouse Ochre

CW-385

Coffeehouse Ochre is a saturated yellow with an orange undertone and medium depth. With an LRV of 36.07, it reads mid-dark and can feel denser in low light. It works in kitchens, dining rooms, or accent walls where a strong yellow is acceptable.

White Dove and Manchester Tan soften the palette. Hale Navy or Salamander add contrast, while Hawthorne Yellow keeps a related warm note.
