About this colour

This shade reads as a muted warm neutral with a gentle green-grey undertone, so it never feels stark or sugary. Its #C9C5A8 value gives it enough depth to hold a room together while still lifting the light more than a deeper taupe would. In a north-facing room it can look cooler and slightly more stone-like, with the green-grey note becoming clearer; in south-facing light it warms up and shows more of its beige side. It works well beside natural oak, walnut and painted joinery, and it gives a calm backdrop to linen, wool and patterned upholstery in earthy or chalky tones.

How to use it

It suits sitting rooms, hallways and bedrooms where you want a settled neutral that will not fight with furniture. Use it with painted skirtings, window frames or built-in joinery, and pair it with muted greens, tobacco browns, navy or off-white upholstery.

A grounded neutral like this makes a room feel calm without going flat.
