Brown Velvet

1011-10

Brown Velvet reads as near-black brown with a warm red undertone. It feels plush. The color can make a powder room, built-in bar, or interior door feel substantial.

Use contrast from warm white walls and reflective hardware. In matte, it may hide the red nuance and show scuffs. Satin or gloss will reveal more depth on detailed trim.

Brown Velvet 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.
