Chestertown Buff
Chestertown Buff begins as a yellow color on paper, then shifts with every surface, shadow and neighboring material. It appears in Historical Colors and Woodluxe® Exterior Wood Stain Colors, placing it within several distinct decorating stories rather than a single fixed look. The manufacturer's description below offers one reading; the room imagery leaves space for your own.
