Nankeen is a medium, warm brown with sun-kissed undertones that give it a welcoming quality. With an LRV of 52, it adds character to a space without overpowering it, working well in home offices, mudrooms, and powder rooms. The closest cross-brand match is Behr's Golden Rice, an extremely close match. Dunn-Edwards's Walnut Shell is another strong alternative.
