# Behr Park Avenue

Behr Park Avenue MQ2-55 is a light, muted greige with a noticeable beige cast that keeps its gray base from feeling stark. Its low-saturation finish reads soft and slightly warm, especially beside bright white trim or cool stone. In daylight, Park Avenue can appear like a pale putty neutral, while warmer bulbs bring out more of its sandy taupe character. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and open-plan walls where a quiet neutral is needed without the crispness of a true gray. Pair it with creamy whites, charcoal accents, natural oak, linen upholstery, and brushed brass for a grounded, layered interior.
