Caramel Gold

3006-7B

Caramel Gold is a mid golden brown with a toasted ocher base. It has more weight than its candy name suggests. A study wall, small dining room, or painted furniture piece can benefit when beige feels too pale.

The color likes textured shades and blackened metal. In dim corners, it moves toward brown rather than yellow. Pair with a warm white that has some body, not a stark trim white.

Caramel Gold 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.
