Rippling Stone

V146-2

Rippling Stone is a light taupe beige with a soft gray yellow base. The taupe base gives beige more substance than off white. Use the color in open living areas, bedrooms, or hallways when white walls need more substance.

The soft value keeps it practical across connected spaces. For Rippling Stone, natural stone plus oak. Test beside carpet, because taupe can shift with flooring. Cabinet whites need comparison.
