Using ochre in your home

Ochre is strongest when it relates to natural materials. Use it in dining rooms, entries, small offices, stairwells, or cabinetry with cream trim, walnut, olive, clay, black, or dusty blue. North light can make deeper ochres look browner. South light brings out the golden orange. Check corners. On large walls, low light can turn ochre heavier than the chip suggests.
