Barely Beige

1066 / OC-96, CC-140

Barely Beige is a light bisque with warm undertones that keep it from reading gray. Its LRV of 71.32 reflects a high amount of light, so it stays bright on walls. Warm light makes the bisque note more apparent.

It is suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, or open areas where a warm neutral is needed. Pair it with White Dove and Muslin for tonal balance, and add Hale Navy or Salamander for contrast.

Barely Beige 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.
