Corner Caf

3003-7C

Corner Caf is a medium caramel brown with a golden-orange base. It feels like a cafe table, not a cool taupe. Lower cabinets, a pantry door, or a cozy office wall can use the warmth well.

The color needs contrast to avoid blending into warm floors. Cream trim, black metal, or pale stone keeps it defined. In direct sun, it may look more golden. In shadow, the brown side takes over.

Corner Caf 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.
