Paraffin reads as a soft very light, warm orange, shaped by its neutral undertones. With an LRV of 88, it reflects a comfortable amount of light, making it a versatile choice for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways. For a cross-brand equivalent, Sherwin-Williams's Heron Plume is a near-identical match. Benjamin Moore's Classic runs close as well. Coordinate with warm whites for trim and natural materials like jute and linen for a layered look.
