Hidden Treasure

N300-5

Hidden Treasure is a warm taupe-brown with a sandy undertone. It feels collected. Hidden Treasure can settle a dining room, hallway, or cabinet built-in when beige needs more depth.

On walls, it looks earthier beside plain white and softer beside cream. Leather, stone, or black hardware complete it. With low daylight, it may look more brown than tan. Add lighter textiles if the room starts to feel heavy.
