Using brass in your home

Brass colored paint needs contrast because it can go drab in weak light. Use it on cabinets, an office, a powder room, or built ins with cream trim, black, walnut, deep blue, or warm stone. North light can reveal the olive side. South light gives it more gold. Check it beside real brass. If the metal is shiny and yellow, the paint may look dull next to it.
