Admiration (8199) - Asian Paints Colour Shade Card | NoBroker

How to Style Admiration in Your Home

Admiration (8199) is a glowing mid-depth shade from the Asian Paints catalogue. It has enough saturation to bring genuine character to a wall while staying liveable across full-room applications, a earthy and lived-in choice for homes that want presence without going fully dramatic.

Best Rooms for Admiration

• Accent walls in living and drawing rooms: Strong enough to define a focal wall behind the TV unit or sofa without overwhelming the room.
• Libraries and study rooms: Adds the warm, lived-in quality that suits rooms designed for reading and quiet work.
• Hallways with good lighting: Gives connecting spaces a sense of arrival; avoid in dim corridors where it can read too heavy.
• Front doors and main door frames: A confident, welcoming colour for the entry of an apartment or independent home.

Lighting & Finish

Lighting: Mid-warm shades deepen under low light and glow in afternoon sun, expect noticeable shift between morning and evening, which is part of the colour's character.

Recommended finish: Mid-tones look most refined in a satin or low-sheen finish; matte works in low-touch bedrooms and study rooms, while satin is the safer choice across living rooms and circulation areas.
