Wheat Toast

V051-5

Wheat Toast is a deep golden brown with a toasted base. It feels hearty and orange-warm. A den, dining room, mudroom, or lower cabinets can use warmth this sturdy.

Around LRV 26, see it as deep and balance it with lighter trim. Cream, walnut, or dark green keep it grounded. Cool white can sharpen the orange side fast. Use a big sample.

Wheat Toast in Different Light
