A medium, warm yellow that feels understated, Ground Pepper is distinguished by its balanced undertones. With an LRV of 37, it provides enough depth for visual interest while remaining approachable — ideal for dining rooms and studies. For a cross-brand equivalent, Hirshfield's's African Queen is a near-identical match. Vista Paint's African Queen runs close as well. It pairs well with crisp whites for contrast and warm metallics like brass or gold for cohesion.
