Ba-Dum Ching!

V049-4

Ba-Dum Ching is a cheerful golden orange with a clear apricot cast. It wants attention. The color works best in small, intentional places, such as a pantry, kids' bath, or painted stool.

Wall-to-wall, it can feel sunny but loud. Cream trim lowers the contrast. Dark teal or olive accents make it feel more designed. Sample beside wood floors because some oaks may push it too yellow.
