It’s the Warmth We’re Loving This Month

If you have a cool, dark room,Potters Clay 1221 will add so much warmth. Even just one accent wallcan do the trick. Just be sure to pay attention to the natural light in the room before painting. Potters Clay 1221 has an LRV, or Light Reflectance Value, of 27.23, which means that it is on the darker side of the spectrum (0 is black, 100 is white), so it absorbs most of the light that comes its way.
What does this mean for your space? Well, if you have a well-lit room,Potters Clay 1221 will appear as more of a brighter orangish color with pink undertones.

Either way, this natural color will supply warmth to an otherwise cool room and give you those brilliant earthy vibes.
