Baby Fawn

OC-15 / HC-173, 972

Baby Fawn is a warm greige with soft beige undertones that keep it in the off-white range. An LRV of 63.09 gives it moderate reflectance, so it stays light but not stark. Under warm light the beige note becomes more visible.

It works well in living rooms, hallways, or whole-house schemes where a neutral wall color is required. Pair it with White Dove and Simply White for trim, and add Dry Sage or Smokey Taupe for deeper coordination.

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.
