Boston Brown Bread

8005-9G

Boston Brown Bread is a dark bread-crust brown with a warm red-orange base. It suits old trim. Doors, stair parts, or a small study can use this depth for character.

LRV 7 means it needs contrast from trim or nearby walls. Pair with cream paint, antique brass, or brick. In matte, it may absorb too much light for cabinetry.
