Tempered Allspice

2006-9C

Tempered Allspice is deep taupe brown with a warm spice undertone, grounded rather than beige. It carries weight. Offices and powder rooms suit it when the room needs a quieter alternative to chocolate brown.

Exterior trim can also work if the body color has warmth. Cream casing helps define the edges, and good lighting keeps the brown from losing detail on broad walls.

Tempered Allspice 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.
