Ode to Joy

8004-20D

Ode to Joy is a muted beige with a khaki-gold undertone. It feels aged and quiet. The color works in living rooms or halls where warmer flooring needs a grounded neutral.

It pairs nicely with cream trim and dark metal accents. In north light, it may look more gray-brown. In afternoon sun, the gold becomes clearer, so view a large sample throughout the day.
