Crushed Nutmeg

M116

Crushed Nutmeg is a soft beige with a cinnamon-peach undertone. The warmth feels baked in. It can flatter bedrooms, dining rooms, and long halls that need more color than off-white.

Gray furnishings may look colder beside it, so include a warm textile or wood tone. In bright rooms, it stays light without disappearing. Let trim samples sit beside Crushed Nutmeg for a full day.

Crushed Nutmeg in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
