Tan color is a shade of brown commonly used by decorators. It's particularly preferred in wall paints because it has pale undertones, making the room feel warmer and inviting to visitors without being overwhelming or "painted-on." This shade can be found throughout much of Asia--from India all the way down Southeast Asia into Indonesia where many people have European heritage but also Asian genes from parent stock --and some Native Americans possess an African complexion with tans mixed within them as well!
