Nut brown

Nut brown is a beige paint color from RAL Classic, but its character reaches beyond a single label. Its LRV of 8.1 gives it real visual weight, allowing the color to hold a wall rather than simply recede from view. Move between the room imagery, color measurements and coordinating shades to build a fuller sense of how it might live in your space.
