Ginger Root

CC-274 / 1111

Ginger Root is a mid-tone caramel shade with orange undertones and muted wood-like qualities that give it a warm, natural appearance. With an LRV of 39.19, this color reflects a moderate amount of light, making it suitable for living rooms, dining areas, or reading spaces where warmth is desired without excessive saturation. The wood tones add earthiness that tempers the orange.
