A medium, muted warm gray, Burning Idea carries balanced undertones and a distinctly understated presence. With an LRV of 54, it provides enough depth for visual interest while remaining approachable — ideal for dining rooms and studies. For a cross-brand equivalent, Vista Paint's Burning Idea is a near-identical match. MPC's Gordo Avocado runs close as well. Coordinate with warm whites for trim and natural materials like jute and linen for a layered look.
