Carmel Valley combines the depth of a medium, warm brown with honey-warm undertones for a gentle effect. With an LRV of 53, it strikes a balance that suits both traditional and contemporary spaces, from dining rooms to dens. The closest cross-brand match is Behr's Nutshell, an extremely close match. Dunn-Edwards's S'mores is another strong alternative. It pairs well with crisp whites for contrast and warm metallics like brass or gold for cohesion.
