Arid Plains

PPU25-07

Khaki gray anchors Arid Plains. Its yellow-green base gives the gray-beige a small olive undertone, so this is not a clean beige. That muted quality works well in mudrooms and casual living spaces where daily wear matters.

Against very white trim, the color can look more khaki. Natural stone suits it better than glossy black tile. Warmer bulbs help if the room starts to feel dusty.
