Taupetone
Benjamin Moore's Taupetone is a brown shade whose quieter details emerge through comparison. Its warm classification can bring a gentle glow to the color, particularly beside natural wood and softer whites. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.
