As a light, warm brown, French brings a earthy energy through its cleanly balanced undertones. With an LRV of 61, it works beautifully as a whole-home color, adding warmth to kitchens and living spaces. PPG offers Amaretto Sours as a near-identical match, while MPC's Plaque Gold Met. is also very similar. Coordinate with warm whites for trim and natural materials like jute and linen for a layered look.
