Benjamin Moore

Devonwood Taupe

1008

Devonwood Taupe is a deep neutral with warm taupe undertones that blend brown and gray into an earthy mid-dark tone. It registers an LRV of 17.45, placing it in the low-reflectance range where it will noticeably darken a room and work best with ample natural or artificial light. The taupe base gives it more warmth than a straight gray of similar depth.

Effective Benjamin Moore pairings include Simply White or Cloud White for high contrast, Revere Pewter or Sparrow for a tonal scheme, and Hale Navy for a deeper complementary accent.
