matching Leviton to Lutron switch colors
Am at the point in my kitchen remodel where I'm selecting wall switches and recepticals. Am going with a mix of Lutron Maestro and Diva's--along with basic paddle switches etc.
Can anyone advise on whether the Leviton Almond and light Almond colors in their recepts and switches and wall plates--matches well with Lutron's Almond or light almond switches and recepts?

The reason for this Q is that apparently Lutron does not make 20 amp paddle switches (for disposers)---nor 20 amp GFI and regular recepts---where as--for example--Leviton does.
My intent was to go with Lutron on all the switches--a mix of Diva--Maestro and paddles in either light almond or almond and then go with Leviton on the recepts--IF---those would fairly closely match in color. Same with the switch plates--especially in multi gang configurations.I don't want to go with the Lutron Claro plates (screwless) as have been told they stick out farther than normal screw in plates (not to mention their extra cost vs screw plates).

Otherwise I can't answer your question.

15 years agoI have a Lutron catalog for dimmers and accessories in front of me right now, and they do have 20 A and 15 A GFCI receptacles. I have some Claro screwless plates, and I like the look. They don't stick out that far. They do cost more, though.

7 years agoI wonder how far one can generalize from the almond matching. I'm trying to figure out if the red colors from Leviton and Lutron match.
