Shortcake presents as a very light, saturated warm orange with balanced undertones and a lively mood. With an LRV of 86, it brings warmth without overwhelming a space, well-suited for main living areas and dining rooms. The closest cross-brand match is MPC's Brilliant Gold, a near-identical match. Hirshfield's's Shortcake is another strong alternative. Coordinate with warm whites for trim and natural materials like jute and linen for a layered look.
