Benjamin Moore

Delaware Putty

240 / CC-230

Delaware Putty is a neutral blend of khaki and stone with warm undertones that prevent it from reading as flat gray. It has an LRV of 63.16, placing it in the upper-mid range for light reflectance and making it effective in spaces that need brightness without appearing stark white. The warm base helps it coordinate with wood tones and natural materials.

It pairs well with Benjamin Moore White Dove, Ballet White, Chelsea Gray, Hale Navy, and Saybrook Sage. This shade works in living rooms, kitchens, and bedrooms as a reliable warm neutral.
