Copper Hide

2005-5B

Copper Hide is a deep leather brown with a clear copper-orange undertone. It can add strength to doors, built-ins, or a mudroom bench. The color is dark enough that large walls need light trim and more than one lamp.

It pairs well with cream, stone, and black hardware. Near orange oak, the warmth can become too concentrated. A sample board against the floor will tell the truth faster than a chip.

Copper Hide 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
