Richmond Bisque

HC-177 / PM-27

Richmond Bisque is a mid-tone bisque with warm yellow undertones that give it a toasted, golden quality. At an LRV of 56.12, it provides moderate light reflectance, reading as a solid warm neutral that neither brightens nor darkens a room dramatically. The yellow base keeps it from appearing pink or cool, anchoring it in the amber-tan family.

White Dove and Edgecomb Gray pair naturally as lighter neutral companions. Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal supply darker contrast, while Saybrook Sage and Monroe Bisque offer analogous earth-toned coordination.
