6006-1C

Ivory Brown by Valspar is a warm, muted neutral with blended beige and gray undertones, registering an LRV of 42.2. At hex #baac9a, it leans toward a sandy taupe with low chroma, reading warmer than a standard greige but cooler than a typical tan. This mid-range reflectance allows it to provide warmth and grounding on walls without making spaces feel dark.

It is suitable for living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms, and also works on cabinetry or wainscoting. Ivory Brown pairs with Valspar Frappe and Filtered Shade as neighboring tones, and contrasts well with Du Jour, Gravity, and Renew Blue.
