Word of Mouth

V045-2

Before choosing trim, notice how Word of Mouth carries a warm red orange undertone. The safest read comes from placing the board beside flooring and fabric. Check the board near the darkest wall before painting connected rooms.

Keep maple floors nearby and sample a large board before committing. Mind the bulb color. Check it at night if the room gets most of its use after work.
