Grandfather is a medium, warm brown with rich amber undertones that give it a inviting quality. With an LRV of 39, it balances depth and brightness, making it a strong choice for dining rooms, accent walls, and home offices. The closest cross-brand match is PPG's Spiced Cinnamon, a near-identical match. Kilz's Toasty is another strong alternative. Try it alongside a cool-toned accent to create visual balance, or lean into warmth with natural wood tones.
