Snake Charmer

8004-23B

Snake Charmer is a warm greige with a dry olive-beige undertone. The olive-beige undertone gives this greige a dry, flexible character. The name sounds wilder than the color behaves.

Entries, family rooms, or exterior siding suit it when plain beige lacks character. On walls, it can look slightly greener beside red brick or cherry wood. Use off-white trim to keep it soft. Cool gray furnishings may flatten it, so add texture and warmer materials nearby.

Snake Charmer 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.
