Benjamin Moore

Adobe Beige

1128 / AC-7

Adobe Beige by Benjamin Moore is a light brown with a mild orange undertone that gives it a warm, sandy quality without turning pink or peach. With an LRV of 55.41, it reflects a moderate amount of light and reads as a true mid-tone neutral on walls. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and open-plan areas where a warm base is needed but white would feel too stark.

It pairs naturally with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Muslin, and benefits from contrast with Kendall Charcoal and Hale Navy.

Adobe Beige in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
