Spontaneous Sprig

V055-5

Spontaneous Sprig is a golden ocher with an earthy yellow-brown base. It feels autumnal. Try it on a front door, dining nook, or painted furniture when mustard is the desired note.

Across every wall, it can feel rich quickly, so keep trim and ceilings light. Black accents keep the ocher from blending into brass or oak. Cream trim mellows it. Test near brass or oak, because similar yellow undertones can become too much.

Spontaneous Sprig 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.
