Thai Curry Technical Profile
What color is Thai Curry? It's a deep cool yellow with the hex code #887C0C. Thai Curry has a cool (green) undertone, which affects how it pairs with trim, flooring, and adjacent wall colors. With an LRV of 20, Thai Curry creates a dramatic, enveloping mood — best on accent walls, dining rooms, and intimate spaces where atmosphere matters more than reflected light. Pair it with crisp whites like Pure White for trim, oak or maple woods, and brass hardware. Navy or deep teal accents balance the brightness without competing for attention. Under 2700K warm bulbs Thai Curry reads more golden or buttery. Under 4000K daylight bulbs it stays truer to the chip, though saturated yellows can edge toward green in mixed light.
