# Behr Shiitake

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

Behr Shiitake N220-4 is a muted mid-tone taupe with a noticeable beige-brown base softened by gray. Its low-saturation appearance keeps it from reading too tan, giving walls a grounded, softly weathered look rather than a crisp neutral finish. In bright daylight, Shiitake can show more of its warm beige character, while lower or cooler light tends to bring out its gray-taupe side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a deeper neutral is wanted without moving into dark brown. Pair it with warm white trim, charcoal accents, aged brass, natural oak, linen, and stone with sandy or mushroom-toned variation.
