Maple Tan

V085-3

Maple Tan is a warm caramel tan with an orange base. The orange base leads. Use it for an accent wall, painted dresser, or cozy office where the warmth feels planned.

Larger rooms need balance from light trim and cooler textiles. The color can intensify under amber bulbs. Black metal gives it a cleaner outline. Sample near oak floors, because matching undertones can become heavy.

Maple Tan 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.
