Tribeca

MQ1-40

Tribeca is a mauve-taupe neutral with a gray veil over the red undertone. Subtle, but present. It suits a bedroom, dressing nook, or powder room when plain greige feels underdressed.

In cool light, it can look more gray; warm lamps bring back the rose-brown side. Pair with mushroom upholstery and polished nickel. Test near existing beige carpet, since the violet note can make yellowed finishes look older.

Tribeca in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

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.
