Mink Suede

V127-5

Mink Suede is a medium-dark taupe gray with a faint red-brown undertone. It has a suede-like softness. A bedroom, office, or painted built-in can feel grounded without going black.

With LRV 18, it needs light trim and good lamps. It may read warmer near cool grays. Pair it with ivory textiles or blackened bronze. Avoid using it in a narrow hall without contrast.

Mink Suede in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
