Horsing Around

V089-5

Horsing Around is a deep saddle brown with a warm orange base. It feels leathery. A den accent or lower cabinet run can take the weight.

On full walls, keep ceilings and trim light so the room does not feel compressed. LRV 17 means it needs lamps after sunset. Pair with cream plaster or muted blue fabric. Avoid matching it too closely to orange wood flooring.

Horsing Around 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.
