Polo Tan

N260-3

Polo Tan reads as a comfortably light camel beige with a real orange undertone. The orange beige base keeps the room casual. Use it where cool greige has made a room feel unfinished, especially near leather seating or terracotta tile.

The color can also work on an exterior body with creamy trim. Avoid using it beside stark blue white paint, which may make the tan look heavier and more dated.
