Carrot Cake reads as a vivid light, saturated warm orange, shaped by its honey-warm undertones. With an LRV of 61, it works beautifully as a whole-home color, adding warmth to kitchens and living spaces. Vista Paint offers Heat of Summer as an extremely close match, while PPG's Orange Poppy is also very similar. Try it alongside a cool-toned accent to create visual balance, or lean into warmth with natural wood tones.
