Matte medium brown

Sandalwood 263 is a medium, warm brown with reddish depth, radiating materiality, comfort, and cultivated grounding.

Sandalwood 263 is a balanced brown with subtle warmth. Its brightness is medium, and its saturation is noticeable but restrained. The color appears soft, rich, and reminiscent of natural materials. Psychologically, it conveys a sense of security, familiarity, and quiet sophistication. Associations range from nubuck leather and cashmere to incense.

Historically, Sandalwood 263 evokes traditional craftsmanship. In interiors, the shade complements cream-colored walls, linen fabrics, raffia, rattan, and darker browns, creating a subtle gradation of natural tones. Similar shades can be found in fashion, such as leather shoes, bags, belts, and coats, where they convey a calm, timeless aesthetic. As an accent color with misty gray, smoky blue, or muted green, it creates a dialogue between warmth and coolness that works equally well in urban lofts and country homes. In design projects, Sandalwood 263 enhances the perception of material depth and handcrafted precision without being overpowering.
