Color of the Month: Saffron Strands

As November weather cools and its days shorten, we tend to spend more of our relaxation time indoors, enjoying some rest before the full holiday season. It is a time to unwind with a favorite latte as we catch up over the phone with friends. Behr paint color Saffron Strands PPU6-02 reminds us of the warmth of a cozy home, with a hint of the crisp autumn leaves dancing their way across the pavement once they have dropped from the trees. This warm hue conveys comfort and self-care.

Saffron Strands is an excellent wall color for the eclectic modern home; it even looks stunning in a living or dining room with charcoal gray or soft black replacing standard white window trim. Denim and indigo hues, whether on the furniture or a few home accent pieces, look even richer against a Saffron Strands backdrop. A patterned area rug in white, pink and blue fits perfectly into the overall look of this space.
