Deep Taupe

2111-10

Deep Taupe is a dark brown with subtle red undertones that shift the color toward warmth rather than a neutral or cool brown. It has an LRV of 7.86, placing it firmly in the deep end of the value scale, which means it absorbs most available light. This density makes it functional for accent walls, trim in lighter rooms, or fully enclosed spaces like studies and dens.

It pairs well with Benjamin Moore Soft Fern, Muslin, Alexandria Beige, Hale Navy, and Saybrook Sage.
