Gingerbread Brick

V085-5

Gingerbread Brick is a dark brick-brown with a burnt orange base. The burnt-orange brown pairs naturally with pale stone hearths. Use it on a porch door, powder room vanity, or fireplace surround where a warm dark color makes sense.

It will absorb light, especially in matte paint. Pair it with warm white trim or pale stone. If the house already has red brick, compare carefully. The two may compete instead of coordinating.
