Roasted Chestnut

PPG15-30

Roasted Chestnut is a medium taupe-brown with a subdued gray undertone. The gray undertone keeps it mellow. The color can settle a den, office, or hallway and works well with mixed woods.

On walls, Roasted Chestnut reads softer than chocolate and warmer than greige. Pair Roasted Chestnut with warm white millwork or pale stone. Black iron gives the brown definition. In low light, Roasted Chestnut may turn flat, so judge a large sample after sunset.
