Cappuccino

Cappuccino Profile

Cappuccino is a classic warm neutral within the PG Bison MelaWood range. It is an earthy, mid-tone solid color that provides more depth and “flavor” than standard creams or off-whites, sitting comfortably in the category of warm tans.

Aesthetic and Texture

Cappuccino is designed to evoke a sense of warmth and comfort. It is a creamy, brownish-beige that mimics the color of frothed coffee. Its popularity stems from its ability to make large spaces feel more intimate without the visual weight of a dark brown or charcoal.

• Peen Finish: This is the most widely used finish for Cappuccino. The subtle stippled texture is excellent for durability and resistance to visible wear, making it a reliable choice for the interiors of cupboards and high-use surfaces.

• SupaGloss Finish: When applied to a high-gloss surface, Cappuccino takes on a very modern, luxurious appearance. The gloss enhances the richness of the tan, making it look sleek and high-end.

• SupaMatt Finish: In a matte format, Cappuccino feels soft and velvety. This finish eliminates glare and reflections, giving the color a sophisticated, contemporary edge that is very popular in modern kitchen designs.

Design Applications

Cappuccino is highly versatile and works well in both residential and professional environments:

• Kitchen Cabinetry: It is often used as a secondary color for upper cabinets or as the main color for a warm, inviting kitchen island.

• Bedroom Furniture: Its calming, organic tone makes it a frequent choice for built-in wardrobes and headboards, where a relaxing atmosphere is desired.

• Office and Retail: Used for reception desks and display units to create a professional yet welcoming first impression.

Recommended Pairings

Cappuccino acts as an excellent “anchor” color for various design palettes:

• With Woodgrains: It pairs beautifully with warm timbers like Natural Oak, Arden, or Vermont Slate. The creaminess of Cappuccino highlights the golden undertones in these woodgrains.

• Contrast: Combine it with a dark solid like Storm Grey or Charcoal for a sophisticated, high-contrast look that feels grounded.

• Tonal Layering: Pair it with Biskra or Nata for a subtle, tone-on-tone aesthetic that is very popular in minimalist “desert modern” designs.

• Hardware: It is exceptionally well-suited to warm metallics like brushed gold, champagne, or bronze.
