Castell Harlech

8003-21D

Castell Harlech is a mellow tan with a honeyed brown base. On the wall, it reads warmer and more historic than a modern greige. It can suit a dining room, stair hall, or traditional bedroom with antique wood.

Bright white trim may look too hard. Choose a creamier white, or let stained millwork do the work. In a dark room, add lamps before judging, because the color can close in at the corners.

Castell Harlech 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.
