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.

This soft, warm tone also works well in a home with an open floor plan. Paint the wall of one room such as the living area in Saffron Strands. An adjacent area like a living room or hallway can be painted an inviting sky blue. Together, these coupled colors look simply stunning. The color combination works well with any floor color.  For a creative touch, add patterned furnishings in white, yellow, tan and orange tones in the blue space, with dark gray furniture and picture frames in the Saffron Strands area for contrast. A few potted plants spaced throughout the view tie the look together even more, for stunning result.

Saffron Strands on a living room wall creates a warm, inspiring backdrop for furniture, whether it’s vintage, trendy or somewhere in between. A dark wood desk with interesting accent pieces takes on a global vibe when placed against this colorful wall.  A retro-inspired brick red sofa gets a boost when placed against a Saffron Strands wall. Update the look with layers of throw pillows in assorted patterns, colors, and textures.

Tone on tone oranges and yellows create a mid-century modern statement in a living room. A Saffron Strands wall enhances the effects of light entering the numerous windows opposite it, making the room feel warm and inviting. A freestanding fireplace in a mild yellow, such as Cellini Gold, enhances the light feel of the room while still being soft on the eyes.

Saffron Strands is a great choice for a focal wall in a bedroom. This soothing color lends an artistic touch to the sleeping area, serving as a backdrop for an interesting headboard made of reclaimed wood. Dark gray nightstands lend a modern touch that look great against the orange backdrop.

In a baby’s nursery, medium gray walls create the perfect environment for quality sleep. A pop of gold yellow like Saffron Strands serves as a cheery accent color, whether on a throw blanket or fiber-based wall art. Natural wood floors and pale gray upholstery keep the overall look light and calming.
