Paint colors worth knowing, the rooms they live in, and where color is going — in design, fashion, and beyond. Free, and only when we have something to say.
How it reads
Creekbed is a true taupe — grey and brown balanced so evenly that it reads as neither, with a faint pink warmth underneath. At LRV 33 it is a mid-tone, dark enough to feel like a color and light enough to keep a small room from closing in. It is the shade of wet river stone.
It is a natural for powder rooms and dressing rooms, where it makes marble, brass and a good mirror look richer than they are. In warm light the pink rises and it turns rosy-mushroom; in cool light it goes grey and stony.
