Benjamin Moore

Alphano Beige

989

Alphano Beige by Benjamin Moore is a warm gray with a noticeable taupe undertone that keeps it from reading too cool. With an LRV of 54.55, it falls in the mid-range and holds up well in rooms with moderate natural light. It functions as a solid wall color in living rooms, bedrooms, and offices where a neutral that leans slightly warm is useful.

It works well alongside Benjamin Moore Classic Gray, White Dove, Revere Pewter, Edgecomb Gray, and Kendall Charcoal for a cohesive warm-neutral scheme.

Alphano 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.
