Copper Pot

PPG1081-7

Copper Pot is a deep copper-brown with a smoked, earthen quality. The depth is real. That smoky orange undertone needs lamp light to stay alive.

It works best where the color can be intentional, such as a study, powder room, island base, or paneled accent wall. Pair it with warm stone, antique brass, or soft ivory rather than stark white. In dim light, the red-orange note retreats and the color becomes a solid brown.
