About this colour

At #CAB49C, Lute reads as a mellow beige with a gentle golden undertone, so it feels warmer than a stone grey and less yellow than a biscuit shade. It reflects light softly rather than brightly, which helps it keep a calm, settled look on walls. In a north-facing room it can edge slightly cooler and more understated, while in south-facing light the warmth comes forward and the colour feels richer. It works especially well beside natural oak, walnut, cane, linen and muted upholstery shades, where its restrained warmth gives the room an easy, cohesive balance.

How to use it

Use Lute in sitting rooms, bedrooms or hallways where you want a neutral that still feels lived-in. It suits painted joinery, shelving and panelling, and pairs neatly with tan leather, flax-toned upholstery and darker timber details.

Lute gives walls a warm, quiet beige that sits easily with natural materials.
