Brilliant Oak

3003-7A

Brilliant Oak is a deep warm brown with an orange wood-stain cast. It feels rustic. Exterior accents, a study wall, or painted furniture can carry it when lighter neutrals surround the color.

It is darker than the name suggests, so plan for contrast. Cream trim, black metal, and woven shades all suit the warmth. Cool gray floors can leave it heavy.
