Barnboard has brightness around 23%. It is deeper, so it usually looks best in rooms with fair to strong daylight, where there is enough light to show the color.

You can match Barnboard with simple whites for trim and ceiling, or with nearby neutrals from the same brand. The similar colors and complementary colors on this page are a good starting point for pairing.

Barnboard works well as an accent on one or two walls, in cozy rooms, or in spaces with stronger daylight where a deeper color will not feel heavy.

Barnboard is softer than a pure untinted white. The neutral undertone and deeper color feel more gentle on the eye, so it tends to look calmer and less stark on large walls.
