Both radiant and nuanced, Dandy Lion is a light, saturated warm orange with cleanly balanced undertones. With an LRV of 80, it works beautifully as a whole-home color, adding warmth to kitchens and living spaces. Vista Paint offers Somerton as a near-identical match, while Sherwin-Williams's Decisive Yellow is also very similar. It pairs well with crisp whites for contrast and warm metallics like brass or gold for cohesion.
