Fudgecicle

2004-9C

Fudgecicle is a medium-deep taupe brown with a muted cocoa base. It feels soft for brown. The color can warm an office, mudroom, or cabinet run without going orange.

Low light pushes it deeper and more mushroom-like. Pair with creamy walls or honed stone. If used on doors, choose satin for cleaner wipe-downs. A tiny chip will undersell the depth.
