Dakota Trail

6008-3B

Dakota Trail is a light tan with a dry wheat undertone. The color sits quietly. Dakota Trail suits open living rooms, hallways, and offices where beige needs more structure.

In cool daylight, it can look slightly grayer and more reserved. Warm wood and linen shades give it enough definition. Black metal lighting also works. Paint two coats of it before judging the undertone.
