# Behr Ancient Scroll

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/behr-ancient-scroll](https://plan-home.com/color/behr-ancient-scroll)

Behr Ancient Scroll MQ3-44 is a light, muted beige with a clear warm golden-tan cast. Its #e1cdad color value gives it a soft, sandy appearance rather than a crisp cream or cool gray-beige. In bright daylight, Ancient Scroll can read as a pale buff neutral, while lower or warmer lighting may bring out its honeyed undertone. It suits living room, bedroom, and hallway walls where a gentle warm backdrop is wanted without using a deep tan. Pair it with off-white trim, natural oak, woven fibers, and earthy accents in clay, olive, or softened brown.
