Papyrus offers a gentle take on a light, warm beige, accented by cleanly balanced undertones. With an LRV of 81, it works beautifully as a whole-home color, adding warmth to kitchens and living spaces. Valspar offers Desert Fortress as a near-identical match, while Sherwin-Williams's China Doll is also very similar.
