Using Afterglow (2073) at Home

Afterglow (2073) is a delicate amber shade - a light, easy tone that suits full walls in most rooms. Its warm undertone pairs best with warm whites and natural woods.

Where Afterglow Works

  • Living rooms: keeps shared spaces open, bright and welcoming.
  • Dining rooms: a warm, golden glow at mealtimes.
  • Home offices: an even, bright backdrop that aids focus.
  • Kitchens: keeps cooking spaces clean, fresh and roomy.
  • Bedrooms: calm and restful, and easy to wake up to.

What to Pair With Afterglow

Build a whole-home palette around Afterglow as a soft base to build on:

  • Muted teal or sage - a cool, balancing accent.
  • Deep walnut or teak - grounds the glow.
  • Cream and ivory - keeps the warmth soft.

Carry one of these into adjoining rooms to keep the whole home feeling cohesive.

Lighting & Finish

Lighting: Afterglow glows under warm light and warms further in afternoon sun, while north light keeps it soft.

Finish: Matte in living rooms and bedrooms for a soft, premium feel; washable satin in kitchens, bathrooms and hallways.

Before You Paint

Try a sample pot on more than one wall before deciding, as amber shades can look quite different in morning and evening light. It covers cleanly, but light walls show scuffs in busy areas, so keep a little paint aside for touch-ups.
