Benjamin Moore

Antique Parchment

959 / HC-39

Antique Parchment is a neutral beige with a warm yellow-tan base that keeps it from reading flat or overly cool. With an LRV of 58.49, it sits in the mid-light range and reflects enough light for full-room coverage without darkening a space. It holds up under both north and south exposures without shifting too orange.

White Dove and Swiss Coffee coordinate as trim options, while Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal can ground accent surfaces. Guilford Green provides a low-contrast neighboring tone for wall-to-wall transitions.
