Hickory Chips

M247

Hickory Chips reads as roasted dark brown carrying a warm undertone. It is heavy. Use it on railings, cabinets, or an exterior door where the finish can take depth.

LRV 8 means it will not give back much light, so use it with pale walls and good lamps. It looks handsome beside cream plaster or aged brass. Against dark floors, it may lose definition unless trim provides contrast.
