Irish Tea

1004-9C

Irish Tea is a smoky rose-brown with a muted clay undertone. It is deeper than a blush. A dining nook, powder room, or small cabinet piece can carry that warmth well.

Against white trim, the pink side reads more clearly. Near red oak, it may turn browner. Keep fabrics simple, especially linen or charcoal, so the color does not tip too sweet.

Irish Tea 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.
