About Brown Teepee
Brown Teepee (2102-40) is a deep, muted pink from Benjamin Moore. With an LRV of 25, Brown Teepee absorbs more light than it reflects, so it works best in rooms with good natural light or where you want a cozier feel.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Brown Teepee's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for bedrooms, nurseries, powder rooms and accent walls. It's very close to Almond Beige (2101-40); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
