Benjamin Moore

Baffin Island

243 / CC-270

Baffin Island is a warm taupe with a slight green undertone that keeps it earthy. Its LRV of 46.12 provides mid-range reflectance, so it holds depth without reading too dark. Warm light brings the green note forward slightly.

It is suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways where a grounded neutral is needed. Pair it with Manchester Tan and Ballet White for tonal balance, and add Hale Navy or Tarrytown Green for contrast.
