Egyptian Pyramid

PPU3-12

Egyptian Pyramid is a warm tan with a soft clay-orange undertone. It feels sunwashed rather than dark, making it useful for living rooms, hallways, or exterior stucco. The warmth is steady.

Trim with creamy warmth, woven shades, or aged brass suit it. In west light, it may turn richer and more golden. Near pink beige tile, test with care so the undertones do not pull the room too peachy.

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.
