Apache Clay

1007-9B

Apache Clay is a deep clay taupe with a red brown undertone. It feels heavy and grounded. The color works for a den, powder room, or cabinet run where earthiness should feel deliberate.

Around it, choose limestone alongside warm white trim. In darker rooms daylight, it can read quite dark, so use lamps before deciding on all four walls. Satin finish helps the clay note show.

Apache Clay 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.
