Behr

Chateau

PPU7-06

Chateau is medium beige-taupe with a warm stone undertone, established enough for living rooms or bedrooms. Traditional furniture and warm woods sit comfortably beside it. Shade strengthens the taupe side in deep rooms.

Sunlight warms it toward tan near windows. Entries can use its extra body over cream. Simple cream trim gives a calm edge. Very cool grays nearby may make it look browner than intended. The color has substance.
