Gentle Fawn

8003-21B

Gentle Fawn is a light golden beige with a creamy center. The creamy gold undertone sits comfortably with pale oak. The color works in family rooms, bedrooms, or entries where a warm neutral should still lift the space.

Its comfortable lightness keeps it from closing in a room the way deeper tans can. Pair with woven shades or pale oak. If the trim is blue-white, sample carefully because the wall may look yellower by contrast.
