A light, saturated warm orange, Heat of Summer carries warm golden undertones and a distinctly energetic presence. With an LRV of 61, it brings warmth without overwhelming a space, well-suited for main living areas and dining rooms. For a cross-brand equivalent, Valspar's Carrot Cake is an extremely close match. Hirshfield's's Heat Of Summer runs close as well. It pairs well with crisp whites for contrast and warm metallics like brass or gold for cohesion.
