Orange Pekoe

M146

Orange Pekoe is a muted burnt orange with a tea-brown base. The tea-brown undertone gives dens a deeper, autumnal warmth. This shade suits a den or painted furniture piece where earthy warmth matters.

Cream trim works better than stark white. Leather and aged wood sit naturally beside it. Because it is a deeper midtone, full walls need enough light to keep the color from feeling too heavy.
