Benjamin Moore

Bridgewater Tan

1096

Bridgewater Tan is a warm neutral with a slight yellow undertone. Its LRV of 43.78 places it in the mid range, so it reads warm but not heavy. It works in living rooms, dining rooms, or offices where a muted golden tan is required.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore Manchester Tan and White Sand for adjacent neutrals, and with Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal for contrast; Windham Cream or Pale Almond can keep the palette light.

Bridgewater 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.
