Caraway Shield

6008-4B

Caraway Shield is a deep khaki brown with olive tucked into the base. It needs stronger daylight than a casual neutral, since its value is closer to accent territory. Use it for built-ins, lower cabinets, or an exterior accent where the muted warmth can look deliberate.

The green side appears beside red brick or orange wood. Keep nearby whites softened, and give the color one clean dark line through hardware or lighting.

Caraway Shield 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.
