Daphne

SW 9151

Dapper Tan (hex #947F65) is a medium-depth tan with yellow-based warm undertones that ground it firmly in the earthy neutral category. Its LRV of 22 means it absorbs more light than it reflects, reading as a solid mid-dark tone that works best with adequate lighting. The warmth in this color comes from its yellow lean rather than red, keeping it from shifting toward pink or mauve.

Sherwin-Williams Accessible Beige and Nomadic Desert complement it within the same warm family, while Naval provides cool contrast. Red Bay deepens the palette, and Debonair introduces a muted blue counterpoint.
