Bales of Brown

V051-4

Bales of Brown is a medium golden brown with a strong caramel undertone. It feels rustic. The color can bring warmth to a den, mudroom bench, or lower cabinets, especially when nearby walls stay light.

Across a whole room, it will read deeper than a simple tan. Pair with black iron, cream trim, or slate. If the flooring is orange oak, test carefully so the browns do not merge.
