Beige Intenso

SW 9096

Beige Intenso (SW, #C5A88D) is a warm earthy beige with orange undertones, carrying an LRV of 42 that keeps it in the medium reflectance zone. The orange influence gives it more depth and saturation than a typical beige, lending a distinctly warm and grounded appearance. Alabaster and Creamy serve as lighter companions for trim and ceilings, maintaining tonal consistency.

Naval and Secret Garden introduce high-contrast accents from the cool side. Temperate Taupe and Debonair can round out a broader palette with analogous and soft complementary tones respectively.
