Cameo Role Technical Profile
What color is Dunn-Edwards Cameo Role (DET671)? It's a light warm orange — hex #DDCAAF, LRV 61. The closest cross-brand equivalent to Cameo Role is Valspar Holmes Cream — a near-identical match on the wall, with Benjamin Moore Alpaca and Benjamin Moore Yosemite also close. At LRV 61, Cameo Role sits in the comfortable mid-light range — bright enough for living areas yet soft enough for bedrooms, and adaptable across most lighting conditions. Pair it with warm whites like White Dove, white oak floors, and unlacquered brass or copper hardware. Terracotta tile or deep green plants complete an earthy warm palette. At mid saturation, this color sits at a flexible mid-point — bold enough to anchor a room without dominating, and pairs cleanly with both crisp and creamy whites. Oranges glow under 2700K warm bulbs, deepening into rich amber. Under 4000K cool light they can lose warmth and shift toward beige — particularly true for muted or dusty oranges. At mid saturation the lighting shift is moderate but real — sample under both warm-bulb evening light and cool-daylight morning light before committing.
