Benjamin Moore

Bluffs

CC-338 / 1075

Bluffs is a warm tan with a gentle beige undertone. The LRV of 46.08 places it in the mid range, giving it enough depth to read warm without becoming heavy. It suits living rooms, halls, or larger open areas that need a neutral with more body.

It coordinates with Benjamin Moore White Dove, Ballet White, and Navajo White for a soft neutral range, and contrasts with Hale Navy or Black Forest Green.
