Matchstick - No.2013

The shade of unbleached wood.
This versatile and understated tone is named after the unbleached wood used in the stalk of a match. With the tiny addition of black, this neutral timber colour creates delightfully understated rooms which are warm without feeling creamy. In well lit rooms it has a fresher quality, especially when contrasted with White Tie or other Yellow Based Neutrals, while feeling more relaxed and traditional in a darker north facing room.

Recommended Primer & Undercoat: White & Light Tones.

Complementary white: White Tie.
