Faint Maple

2008-9C

Faint Maple is a medium tan-beige with a warm wood undertone. Maple is a fair cue. Living rooms, entries, or bedrooms can use it with cream upholstery and natural floors.

This shade has enough depth to hide some scuffs better than pale creams. In cool light, it leans taupe. Add white trim or black accents when the space needs clearer edges.
