Valspar

Tender Twig

3001-7B

Tender Twig is a deep warm taupe brown with a softened clay undertone. It feels twiggy and natural. Use it on lower cabinets, a hallway accent, or painted furniture when plain brown feels too flat.

The shade works with cream walls and honed stone. In low daylight, it may become quite subdued. Add brass or lighter wood nearby to keep the room from feeling heavy.
