About Shiitake

Looking to transition out of cooler gray paint colors? Try relaxed beige Shiitake. Like salty air on a New England shore, Shiitake’s light, warm hue embodies the essence of refined comfort and coastal design. Because of its balanced undertones, Shiitake carries a sense of longevity that complements the ever-changing landscape of interior styling. From living rooms to bedrooms, this versatile neutral invites feelings of serenity and renewal wherever applied.
