Chestnut Beach

3002-7A

Chestnut Beach is a deep toasted brown with a clear orange undertone. It feels more like leather than driftwood. Use it on doors, built-ins, or exterior trim when the project needs warmth with weight.

A small library or den can take it if the lighting is layered. The color may blend too closely with orange floors. Warm white, black metal, or pale stone will give it readable contrast.
