A light, saturated warm orange, Brittlebush carries honey-warm undertones and a distinctly vivid presence. With an LRV of 70, it works beautifully as a whole-home color, adding warmth to kitchens and living spaces. For a cross-brand equivalent, Dunn-Edwards's Lion's Mane is a near-identical match. Behr's Sahara Shade runs close as well. It pairs well with crisp whites for contrast and warm metallics like brass or gold for cohesion.
