Smoked Almond

1006-9A

Smoked Almond is a deep reddish brown with a smoky walnut cast. It runs deep. The name sounds lighter than the paint behaves.

Use it for built-ins, interior doors, or exterior accents where a softer alternative to black is needed. Dim rooms may push it toward warm charcoal. Satin or semi-gloss gives the surface more life. Pair with limestone or parchment walls. Bright white trim may feel too sharp.

Smoked Almond 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.
