Naperon is a clay neutral with soft, lived-in warmth
Naperon feels like sun-warmed terracotta that has been softened with chalk. It sits between Setting Plaster and Red Earth, offering earthy warmth without becoming orange.
It is a strong choice for rooms that need a natural, grounded mood. Pair it with creamy whites like Slipper Satin, or deepen the palette with Cord and smoked timber.
Best places to use Naperon
- Dining rooms for a warm, flattering glow.
- Snugs and reading spaces with low, evening light.
- Period homes where plaster and timber benefit from softer clay tones.

Pairing ideas
Combine Naperon with Jitney or Pink Ground for a soft tonal scheme, and add depth with woven textures and aged brass.
