Arcadia (2045) - Nerolac Paints Colour Shade Card | NoBroker

Using Arcadia (2045) at Home

Arcadia (2045) is a warm amber from Nerolac paints, a light, easy tone that suits full walls in most rooms. The warm undertone means it works best alongside warm whites and natural woods.

Best Rooms for Arcadia

• Living rooms: keeps shared spaces open, bright and welcoming.
• Dining rooms: a warm, golden glow at mealtimes.
• Hallways and small rooms: makes narrow or compact spaces feel larger.
• Home offices: an even, bright backdrop that aids focus.
• Bedrooms: calm and restful, and easy to wake up to.

What to Pair With Arcadia

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

• Deep walnut or teak - grounds the glow.
• Brushed brass - plays up the golden tone.
• Muted teal or sage - a cool, balancing accent.

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

Lighting & Finish

Lighting: Arcadia 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. Two thin coats give the most even result; save some paint for touch-ups in high-traffic spots.
