What are NCS S 7005-R20B undertones?
S 7005-R20B is a deep, very muted brownish taupe. The HEX sample has a subtle pink-red bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear pink-red. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.
