King's Ransom

V050-3

King's Ransom is a warm golden orange with a honeyed base. It has a rich, sunny character. A dining nook, entry bench, or painted sideboard can take the warmth without much pattern nearby.

On broad walls, it may feel stronger by afternoon. Cream trim, dark wood, or navy textiles adds the right amount of contrast. Test beside existing floors because orange undertones can pile up quickly.
