Almond Roca

SW 9105

Almond Roca (SW, #A78361) is a warm, mid-depth tone built on orange-brown undertones that position it between caramel and clay. At an LRV of 25, it absorbs a substantial share of light, producing a grounded, weighty presence on walls or cabinetry. The hue reads clearly warm and earthy across most lighting conditions.

It layers well with lighter warm neutrals like Soft Apricot and Creamy, which keep the palette cohesive without competing for attention. For stronger contrast, Naval provides a deep cool counterpoint, and Secret Garden adds a rich green complement.
