This light taupe has all the qualities of stylish greige, with pink undertones bringing plenty of warmth. It’s incredibly versatile, working well in almost any room of the home. Use it in a contemporary living room or turn to it if your bedroom deserved a long-overdue overhaul. 

Decorating with this taupe is easy. You can use more muted taupes with grey undertones to create a tonal interior or stick to classic colour compliments like white instead. You can even incorporate more fiery hues into the mix. Those pink undertones mean this taupe can be paired with more luxurious shades, such as jewel or blush tones.

Taupe is one of the best colours around for bringing anything back to basics. However, a blank canvas doesn’t have to be dull. Indian Muslin will make a magnificent addition to any room. It’s a lighter version of taupe but will work well in place of standard beige. Because it’s lighter than other paint colours in our collection, you have more flexibility when decorating with it.

Rich and refined, this taupe paint colour is saturated with citrus character that makes it perfect for making a statement. 

Try using this one if you’re looking for an eye-catching alternative to earthy shades like terracotta.
