Elk is a medium, warm brown with evenly balanced undertones that give it a warm quality. With an LRV of 53, it adds character to a space without overpowering it, working well in home offices, mudrooms, and powder rooms. Looking across brands, Valspar's Prairie Path comes in as a near-identical match. It pairs well with crisp whites for contrast and warm metallics like brass or gold for cohesion.
