Benjamin Moore

Brick House Tan

CW-145

Brick House Tan is a warm soft tan with a neutral undertone. Its LRV of 50.21 puts it in the mid-light range, so it reads steady in most rooms. It works in living rooms, libraries, or entryways where a traditional tan is required.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Revere Pewter for a muted neutral palette, and with Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal for contrast; Wythe Blue or Georgian Green can introduce cool color.

Brick House Tan 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.
