Stone Brown

250F-4

Stone Brown is a warm taupe-brown with a peachy clay undertone. Save it for cabinets, a den wall, or an exterior accent where a softer brown works better than espresso. It sits comfortably with ivory trim, travertine, and medium oak.

In shaded rooms, the brown can deepen and lose some warmth. Satin gives millwork more life. Avoid bright white next to it unless the contrast is deliberate. The peach-clay base keeps this brown softer than espresso.

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.
