Hot August is a engaging medium, warm orange with sun-kissed undertones. With an LRV of 49, it adds character to a space without overpowering it, working well in home offices, mudrooms, and powder rooms. For a cross-brand equivalent, Benjamin Moore's Hale is an extremely close match. Sherwin-Williams's Yam runs close as well.
