Café Miel

2008-7C

Cafe Miel is a warm honey-brown with a muted orange base. It has an earthy pull. Cabinets, a study wall, or exterior shutters are strong candidates when a soft leather tone is wanted.

Because it sits in the deeper middle range, keep pale walls or counters nearby. Cream trim suits it. Cool blue-grays can push it more orange.

Café Miel 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.
