Benjamin Moore

Topeka Taupe

1463

Topeka Taupe (BM) is a neutral brown with a detectable red-violet undertone that adds warmth to what would otherwise read as a straightforward mid-dark neutral. Its LRV of 11.01 means it absorbs most light, placing it firmly in the darker range. The red-violet cast becomes more apparent under warm artificial lighting and less so in cool daylight.

Benjamin Moore's Edgecomb Gray, Balboa Mist, Chelsea Gray, Kendall Charcoal, and Pleasant Pink all pair well, spanning from light neutrals for contrast to darker tones for a layered, tonal scheme.
