Sunflower

Sunflower begins as a yellow color on paper, then shifts with every surface, shadow and neighboring material. Its warm classification can bring a gentle glow to the color, particularly beside natural wood and softer whites. Move between the room imagery, color measurements and coordinating shades to build a fuller sense of how it might live in your space.
