Amber
At first glance, Amber belongs to the orange family; in a room, light and context can make it far more elusive. A red undertone may emerge most clearly where the paint meets a cleaner white, stone surface or contrasting textile. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.
