Potting Soil

T597

Potting Soil is an earthy brown with a golden olive pull. It feels useful, not decorative. Think boot room walls, an exterior door, or built ins around a stone fireplace.

The darkness will swallow weak light, so it works best with texture and a clear trim contrast. Woven shades and warm white paint keep it from feeling heavy. A woven runner makes the brown feel less severe.

Potting Soil 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
