Tiger-Eye is as exotic as it sounds. Not only does its name represent the actual golden-brown color of a tiger's eyes, but this hue also appears in a precious gemstone of the very same name. In your home, this luscious color can be elegant and also cozy.

| If you've been looking for a neutral other than gray or beige, tiger-eye is a great alternative that creates a warm backdrop for many different colors and wood finishes. |
| Tiger-eye is very complementary to darker wood tones. The luminous walls in this dining room work with the furniture to create a feeling of luxury. |
