Valspar

Sweet and Sour

8002-18F

Sweet and Sour is deep caramel orange, closer to toasted peel than fresh citrus. The brown helps. Use it as a front door color or on a dining niche when the room needs warmth with character.

Full walls require bright ceilings and enough contrast from trim. Dark bronze hardware suits the earthy side, and natural leather can make the orange feel grown up.
