Hiking Trail

CC-514 / 1020

Hiking Trail is a mid-tone neutral with earthy taupe undertones that create a warm, grounded appearance. With an LRV of 25.91, this color absorbs a moderate amount of light, making it suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, and studies where a subdued backdrop is needed. The taupe base works well in both traditional and contemporary settings.

This shade coordinates effectively with Benjamin Moore White Dove for contrast, Chelsea Gray for added depth, Simply White for trim work, Saybrook Sage for a nature-inspired scheme, and Hale Navy as an accent color.
