Release the Hounds

M157

Release the Hounds is a deep golden brown, like old leather with an ochre glow. The name is quirky, but the color is serious. It can work in a den, entry, or on the entry door with stone nearby.

Since it sits deep, use lighter trim and strong lamps. For Release the Hounds, navy plus cream. The ochre glow needs daylight.
