The Analysis
Tassel is a mid-tone, golden-brown ochre that leans into warmth rather than brightness. With an LRV of 30.11, it absorbs a significant amount of light, which tends to make a room feel cozy and enclosed rather than expansive or airy.
This is a strong, saturated tone that works best as a feature wall or a deliberate accent rather than a whole-home neutral. It provides a rich, organic backdrop that highlights furniture pieces without competing with them.
LRV 30History & Origin
This colour leans toward a heritage aesthetic, drawing inspiration from the warmth of Arts and Crafts interiors or mid-century earth-tone palettes. It feels like a timeless, traditional choice rather than a trend-driven modern selection.
How to Use It
Use this in smaller rooms like dens or powder rooms to lean into its cozy nature. Pair it with dark walnut wood tones and matte black metal hardware to emphasize its rich, earthy qualities.
The Mood
Living with Tassel feels grounding and stable, similar to the sensation of being in a well-loved study or library. It creates an energizing, tactile environment that feels industrious rather than sleepy, making it ideal for spaces where you want to focus.
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.
