Benjamin Moore

Danville Tan

HC-91

Danville Tan is a mid-range sand tone with earthy yellow undertones that place it firmly in the warm neutral category. Its LRV of 41.17 provides moderate light reflectance, giving it enough depth to anchor a room without making it feel dark. The yellow base keeps it from reading as flat or gray.

It pairs naturally with Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Muslin, Kendall Charcoal, Quiet Moments, and Palladian Blue. This shade works across living rooms, bedrooms, and dining areas in both traditional and transitional settings.
