Southern Road

1006-9C

Southern Road is a medium-deep clay brown with a red undertone. It feels dusty and warm. The color can anchor a den, dining room, or exterior accent where beige would feel too pale.

Because it sits in a deep range, use enough trim contrast and lamps. Cream walls nearby soften it. Black hardware gives the red-clay brown a cleaner edge. Avoid pairing it with red brick without sampling, since the undertones may compete.
