Macadamia Nut

191 / HC-33, PM-26, OC-148

Macadamia Nut is a soft, warm cream with an LRV of 73.92, placing it in the upper mid-range of light reflectance. Its undertones lean golden and slightly peachy, giving it a honeyed bisque quality that reads warmer than a straight beige without tipping into overt yellow. In cooler light it settles into a neutral warmth, under warm bulbs it can amplify toward a richer amber cast.

It pairs naturally with White Dove and Cloud White on trim, gains definition from deeper tones like Newburyport Blue or Essex Green, and layers well with Pale Oak or Soft Fern.
