Defined by neutral undertones, Taupe is a soft deep, warm brown. With an LRV of 28, it creates a cocooning effect, perfect for moody bedrooms, libraries, and intimate dining rooms. For a cross-brand equivalent, Behr's Breakfast Blend is a near-identical match. Dutch Boy's Mud Pie runs close as well. Try it alongside a cool-toned accent to create visual balance, or lean into warmth with natural wood tones.
