Aged Parchment

8005-7B

Aged Parchment is a light parchment beige with a soft golden-gray base. Golden parchment flatters older wood trim. The color works as a whole-room neutral when white feels too bare and tan feels too heavy.

It suits hallways, bedrooms, and living rooms with woven shades or medium wood. In dim spaces, it can lose freshness, so use warm lamps. Soft white trim suits stone that leans beige rather than blue.
