122. MIDDLE BUFF

This darker buff made its name on the first British Standard range of paint colours and can be found on many 1930s buildings. This intriuging, deep neutral colour makes a great alternative to yellow. Use Middle Buff in a grand room with Hollyhock, or alongside Bronze Red for a more confident scheme.

The color of dry coniferous bark

On this gif, you can see how different this color can be in the photo. It depends on the surrounding colors, lighting, your perception and your screen settings.

Orange like a ripe September pumpkin

A very appetizing color. It’s the hue of a ripe, dark October pumpkin or the delicate peeling of pine bark, remember what that looks like? The color of dry pine needles is timeless. It’s so ubiquitously used that it can only be compared to red lipstick.
