Benjamin Moore

Taupe

2110-10

Taupe (BM) is a dark, warm brown with red-amber undertones and a notably low LRV of 7.65, meaning it reflects very little light and reads as near-black in dim conditions. The color has a clear wood-tone quality, leaning toward raw umber rather than cool gray-brown. It functions primarily as an accent or trim color given its depth.

Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Simply White, Forest Green, Kensington Blue, and Balboa Mist all coordinate with it, providing sufficient contrast for readability on adjacent surfaces.
