How Deep Taupe changes with the light

North-facing rooms
Deep Taupe will read even deeper in north light: great for a cozy, enveloping room, less so if you want it bright.
East-facing rooms
Deep Taupe will look warmer and brighter in the morning and cooler and grayer by afternoon; check a sample at both times.
South-facing rooms
In strong south light Deep Taupe can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.
West-facing rooms
Deep Taupe will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
