Hideaway 0137

Colourtrend

The Analysis

Hideaway 0137 is a deep, earthy brown that absorbs light rather than reflecting it, making a room feel intimate and enclosed. Because it has a very low LRV (8.79), it will make a space feel smaller and more grounded, which is ideal for creating a cozy, 'den-like' atmosphere.

This is best used as a mood-setter rather than a primary wall color for a whole house. It works exceptionally well as a feature wall, a library-style study, or for 'drenching' a small room in color to make it feel deliberate and luxurious.

History & Origin

This color fits perfectly into a modern heritage aesthetic, reminiscent of traditional wood-paneled studies and libraries. It updates the classic Victorian dark-room trend with a cleaner, more contemporary finish.

How to Use It

Pair this with light-colored, natural wood tones or warm brass hardware to prevent the room from looking too heavy. It also looks sharp against stark matte black accents if you want to lean into a more industrial or masculine edge.

The Mood

Living with this shade feels calm, steady, and incredibly restful. It lacks the 'high-energy' punch of bright colors, instead providing a stable, quiet backdrop that feels professional and sophisticated.

Colour harmonies

Complementary

Opposite on the colour wheel — bold, high-contrast pairings. Use for a feature wall or furniture you want to command attention.

Analogous

Neighbouring hues — cohesive and calm, great for layered schemes that feel collected rather than matched.

Split complementary

Near-opposites for strong contrast with a little less tension than a pure complement. A favourite of interior designers.

Triadic

Three evenly spaced hues — balanced, vibrant, and versatile. Keep one dominant and use the others sparingly.

Tetradic (square)

Four hues in a square on the wheel — rich, dynamic palettes. Best when one colour leads and the others accent.

Monochromatic

Dark, mid, and light steps on the same hue — a failsafe gradient for trim, walls, and accents without shifting colour family.
