Mountain Hideaway

M225

Mountain Hideaway is a medium taupe-brown with a muted golden base. It feels sheltered. A den, office, or paneled nook can carry this deeper neutral without feeling overly decorated.

Since LRV 28 sits on the dark side of midrange, use lighter trim and enough lamps. It pairs naturally with leather or stone. In cool light, the taupe side becomes more apparent.
