Macadamia

SW 6142

SW 6171 Macadamia is a warm yellow-based neutral with golden undertones and an LRV of 49, placing it in the mid-range for light reflectance. It reads as a toasted tan that avoids pink or orange casts, staying firmly in the yellow-gold family. This color suits living rooms, kitchens, and hallways where warmth is needed without excessive saturation.

It pairs well with Alabaster SW 7008 on trim and coordinates with Latte SW 6108, Sturdy Brown SW 6097, and Chamois SW 6131. Use Balanced Beige SW 7037 for transitional spaces.
