Summerdale Gold

HC-17

Summerdale Gold is a honey-toned gold with subtle green undertones that reduce sharpness. With an LRV of 39.3, it sits in the mid-range and adds depth without excessive darkness. It is commonly used in dining rooms, studies, and living areas.

The color reads warmer under artificial lighting. It pairs well with Manchester Tan and Philadelphia Cream for cohesion. Fernwood Green and Soft Fern reinforce undertones, while Hale Navy or Newburg Green add contrast.
