Benjamin Moore

Brookline Beige

HC-47

Brookline Beige is a warm medium neutral with yellow-brown undertones. The LRV of 40.36 gives it medium depth, so it reads grounded on walls. It works in living rooms, bedrooms, or corridors where a warm beige is needed.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Manchester Tan for a cohesive neutral range, and with Hale Navy or Essex Green for contrast; Palladian Blue or Windmill Wings can add a soft color note.

Brookline Beige 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.
