Carrot Cake

2007-3A

Carrot Cake is a bold terracotta orange with a warm clay base. This one announces itself. A small powder room, painted cabinet, or back entry can take this kind of color better than a large open plan.

It will glow under warm bulbs, so test it at night before choosing it for dining walls. Pair it with aged white, dark green, or natural rattan. Cool gray surfaces can make the orange feel sharper.

Carrot Cake 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.
