French Taupe is a approachable light, muted warm gray with balanced undertones. With an LRV of 79, it brings warmth without overwhelming a space, well-suited for main living areas and dining rooms. For a cross-brand equivalent, Dutch Boy's So Dainty is a near-identical match. Vista Paint's Shy Violet runs close as well. Coordinate with warm whites for trim and natural materials like jute and linen for a layered look.
