Brick House Tan
Brick House Tan begins as a neutral color on paper, then shifts with every surface, shadow and neighboring material. It appears in Williamsburg® Paint Color Collection, placing it within several distinct decorating stories rather than a single fixed look. Move between the room imagery, color measurements and coordinating shades to build a fuller sense of how it might live in your space.
