Benjamin Moore

Taos Taupe

2111-40

Taos Taupe (Benjamin Moore) is a warm-leaning taupe with an LRV of 23.65, positioning it in the lower-to-mid range of light reflectance. Brown and gray undertones are both present, giving it a greige character that reads warmer than a standard gray but cooler than a tan. It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore's Stone Hearth and Shaker Beige for tonal continuity in warm neutral schemes.

Hale Navy and Coastal Fog provide contrast and cooler balance, respectively. Pashmina is a close analogous option that shares its warm-gray base.
