Benjamin Moore

Dearborn Tan

1153

Dearborn Tan is a muted ginger tone with noticeable orange undertones that give it a warm, earthy cast. Its LRV of 41.5 places it in the medium-light range, reflecting moderate light while retaining enough depth to anchor a wall. The color reads as a subdued terracotta-adjacent neutral rather than a bright orange.

It suits rooms where a warm mid-tone is needed without high saturation. Recommended Benjamin Moore pairings include White Dove, Ballet White, Hale Navy, and Forest Green for tonal contrast or soft coordination.
