Western Ridge

1008-9C

Western Ridge is a deep clay beige with a rosy brown undertone. The rosy clay undertone gives plaster walls a warmer, older-house character. A dining room, bedroom, or exterior accent can use the warmth without going as orange as terra-cotta.

Its value sits just under LRV 30, so treat it as deep. Cream trim, dark wood, or aged brass work well. In shaded interiors, the rosy side may look more taupe.

Western Ridge 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.
