Every room, each color

The difference

Read from the numbers

Both read warm. Both belong to the beige family.

How they read

In their own words

Wabi is a Color Atelier lime paint — a soft off-white with a tiny addition of umber and black that pulls it toward pale taupe. Because it is a limewash, the colour is mottled and cloudy, moving between chalk white and warm stone across the wall.

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.
