Benjamin Moore

Cornice Tan

CW-115

Cornice Tan is a warm neutral with soft beige and yellow undertones, drawn from a mid-18th-century color discovered at Bracken Tenement. It registers an LRV of 63.86, giving it enough brightness to open up a room without appearing washed out. The warmth in this shade lends itself well to living rooms and dining areas where a grounded, historically informed tone is appropriate.

Benjamin Moore's White Dove and Swiss Coffee complement its warm base and keep walls cohesive in adjacent spaces. For added depth, pairing with Hale Navy or Salamander introduces contrast, while Quiet Moments offers a cooler muted accent.
