Roasted Coffee

2009-10

Roasted Coffee is a dark coffee brown with a reddish undertone. It is rich and low. It makes sense on cabinets, interior doors, or a small den with layered lighting.

The very dark value will absorb light, so do not expect it to open a room. For Roasted Coffee, ivory plus brass. Satin finish helps the brown show. Clear bulbs matter here.

Roasted Coffee 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.
