Cardboard

Cardboard is a warm, earthy brown with a subtle yellow undertone, represented by hex #9C7A56. At an LRV of 22, it absorbs a moderate-to-high amount of light, lending it noticeable depth without reaching the heaviest end of the brown spectrum. The yellow lean gives it a golden-tan warmth that separates it from cooler or redder browns.

Sherwin-Williams White Raisin and Nomadic Desert pair well for a cohesive warm-neutral grouping. Black Fox or Urbane Bronze intensify the palette on the dark side, while Svelte Sage introduces a muted green for a cross-tonal balance.
