Bosc Pear

SW 6390

Bosc Pear (SW, #C09056) is a warm yellow-brown with distinct brown undertones that give it an earthy, muted quality rather than a bright yellow read. At an LRV of 32, it absorbs more light than it reflects, producing a medium-depth tone suited for rooms where a darker warm neutral is needed. The brown base prevents it from appearing overly saturated.

It works alongside Accessible Beige and Shoji White to lighten a scheme, while Tricorn Black or Smoky Blue provide sharper contrast. Wheat Penny and Harvest Gold extend its warm, ochre-adjacent range.
