About Fox Run

Fox Run (1229) is a deep, medium-strength beige from Benjamin Moore that leans peach. With an LRV of 23, Fox Run 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 Fox Run'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, offices, accent walls and kitchen cabinets. It's very close to Birchwood (1161); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.

How Fox Run changes with the light

Fox Run has a strong warm undertone that balances cool north light well. In strong south or west sun it can look more golden, so check a sample at midday and in the late afternoon.

North-facing rooms

Fox Run's warmth balances the cool north light, which is why warmer colors are the safe pick for north rooms.

East-facing rooms

S

South-facing rooms

In strong south light Fox Run can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.

W

West-facing rooms

Fox Run will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
