Mountain Retreat

1176

Mountain Retreat (1176) is a medium-dark brown with red and orange undertones that give it a warm, clay-like quality. With an LRV of 20.65, it absorbs a substantial amount of light and reads as a solid, anchoring tone on walls and trim. The red undertone distinguishes it from cooler or more neutral browns, lending it a rugged warmth.

It pairs effectively with Opulence (OC-69) for a creamy light contrast, Everlasting (1038) for a lighter warm companion, White Dove (OC-17) for clean trim, and Townsend Harbor Brown (HC-64) as a deeper accent for tonal depth.

Mountain Retreat 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
