Gateway Arch

8005-10F

Gateway Arch is a deep taupe-brown with a warm stone undertone. The warm taupe base gives built-ins a masonry-like weight. Use it on exterior accents, interior doors, or built-ins where the room needs structure.

It will not act like a pale neutral, even if the chip looks manageable. Warm white trim gives it enough separation. In rooms with dark flooring, add lighter textiles nearby. Otherwise the color can feel heavier than intended.
