What Color Is Wishing Troll, Really?
Wishing Troll reads as a warm red-orange tone — dark — high drama, needs strong daylight or warm bulbs. The notes below cover how Behr T11-17 behaves in different light and the closest matches at competing US brands.
Best Rooms and Uses for Wishing Troll
Wishing Troll works best as a feature — a single wall, built-ins, a study or dining room — rather than wrapping a whole bright space. Yellows lift kitchens, hallways and kids' rooms with warmth.
How Lighting Changes Wishing Troll
With an LRV of 24, Wishing Troll is a deep, dramatic shade. It soaks up light in north-facing rooms and looks richest where strong daylight hits it. Its orange undertone is the part to watch: it gets picked up by whatever sits next to it, so test it against your trim, floor and the room's main light before committing. Warm artificial light softens it; cool LED can make it look flat, so match your bulbs to the mood you want.
Most complaints about Wishing Troll are a light mismatch. Upload a photo of your actual room and see it on your walls — then ask for the same wall in north light or evening lamps before you buy a single sample.
