Western Brown

2009-9

Western Brown is an almost black red brown with a warm, rugged base. The red-brown base needs daylight or sheen to separate from black. Use it on an exterior door, beams, cabinetry, or a small den where black would feel too modern.

At LRV 7, the color needs light trim or stone nearby. Pair with leather, bronze, or cream plaster. Cool grays can deepen the red-brown edge.

Western Brown 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
