Orange Ballad offers a welcoming take on a medium, warm brown, accented by sun-kissed undertones. With an LRV of 48, it adds character to a space without overpowering it, working well in home offices, mudrooms, and powder rooms. For a cross-brand equivalent, Sherwin-Williams's Truepenny is a near-identical match. Vista Paint's Orange Ballad runs close as well. Coordinate with warm whites for trim and natural materials like jute and linen for a layered look.
