Cupcake is a medium, warm brown with neutral undertones that give it a soft quality. With an LRV of 45, it balances depth and brightness, making it a strong choice for dining rooms, accent walls, and home offices. The closest cross-brand match is Dunn-Edwards's Big Stone Beach, a near-identical match. PPG's Caravel Brown is another strong alternative.
