Western Sandstone

1001-10A

Western Sandstone is a medium taupe beige with a warm stone cast. It is grounded. Halls, offices, or bedrooms suit it when greige needs more earth and less gray.

The color pairs well with limestone, oak, and black accents. At LRV 38, it can feel cozy on full walls. Cool white trim will sharpen the beige, so compare trim samples in the room.
