Behr

Grizzly

MQ2-38

Grizzly is a medium brown-taupe with a soft clay undertone. The mood is sturdy. Choose it for a den, entry, or exterior accent when the scheme needs more weight.

On walls, the warm brown base will show most beside painted white casing. Let stone, leather, and matte black hardware carry the quiet contrast. When the space includes orange oak, sample broadly, because the combination can become too heavy without a lighter counterpoint.
