Basswood is a light, warm orange with evenly balanced undertones that give it a warm quality. With an LRV of 70, it creates a welcoming atmosphere in bedrooms, family rooms, and entryways. The closest cross-brand match is Dunn-Edwards's Sandal, a near-identical match. PPG's Persuasion is another strong alternative. It pairs well with crisp whites for contrast and warm metallics like brass or gold for cohesion.
