Castle Path

730C-3

Castle Path is a light taupe-beige with a weathered walkway feel, neutral but not blank. Entryways and bedrooms can use its extra depth over cream. Stone and medium wood sit well with it.

Shade increases the taupe side in narrow halls. Sunlight warms it toward tan on open walls. Offices get a softer neutral from it. Clean off-white trim creates a polished edge. Test transitions beside very cool gray rooms. The warmth stays modest.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
