African Queen presents as a medium, warm yellow with evenly balanced undertones and a relaxed mood. With an LRV of 37, it adds character to a space without overpowering it, working well in home offices, mudrooms, and powder rooms. The closest cross-brand match is Behr's Ground Pepper, a near-identical match. Vista Paint's African Queen is another strong alternative. Try it alongside a cool-toned accent to create visual balance, or lean into warmth with natural wood tones.
