Benjamin Moore

Crown Point Sand

HC-90 / 242

Crown Point Sand is a muted tan from Benjamin Moore with a noticeable green-brown undertone that keeps it from reading overly warm. Its LRV of 52.91 places it in the mid-range for light reflectance, making it functional in rooms with moderate natural light. The earthy cast gives it a grounded quality suited to traditional and transitional settings.

It coordinates well with Hale Navy for strong contrast, Essex Green for a deeper pairing, and softer neutrals like Edgecomb Gray and Manchester Tan for a tonal scheme.
