Dark Clove

SW 9183

Deep brown approaches black in Dark Clove SW 9183 but looks visibly warmer beside true charcoal. Cabinet fronts and doors gain substantial definition from it. A pale neutral reveals the brown.

Medium wood produces a darker, more tonal result.

Dark Clove in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
