Benjamin Moore

Dark Beige

2165-40

Dark Beige is a mid-tone neutral with pronounced yellow and orange undertones that push it beyond a standard beige into warmer territory. It has an LRV of 46.82, reflecting a moderate amount of light while maintaining noticeable depth. The orange influence gives it a richer, more saturated appearance than typical beige shades.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Manchester Tan, Edgecomb Gray, Hale Navy, and Golden Straw. This shade functions effectively in living rooms and dining spaces where a warm, grounded wall color is needed.
