Kernel combines the depth of a light, saturated warm orange with rich amber undertones for a dynamic effect. With an LRV of 74, it reflects a comfortable amount of light, making it a versatile choice for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways. Sherwin-Williams offers Olden Amber as a near-identical match, while Benjamin Moore's Pan is also very similar. It pairs well with crisp whites for contrast and warm metallics like brass or gold for cohesion.
