Color: Frog Mud
The tactile depth of mud originates from the reverberation of light between particles of dry soil and films of water. This natural phenomenon causes our “Frog Mud” to hide its obvious identity, looking gray in some lights and brown in others.

Palm Beach custom DKC project in Veranda
It’s an axiom that a successful collaboration needs a designer and an equally committed client.
