10 Gallon Hat Technical Profile
What color is Dutch Boy 10 Gallon Hat (413-3DB)? It's a medium warm orange — hex #C0A891, LRV 41. The closest cross-brand equivalent to 10 Gallon Hat is PPG Worsted Tan — a near-identical match on the wall, with Vista Paint Swiss Cream and Kilz Mochatini also close. Its LRV of 41 gives 10 Gallon Hat depth without going dark, which makes it a strong choice for accent walls, libraries, and rooms with abundant natural light. 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.
