Benjamin Moore

Elephant Tusk

OC-8 / 239

Elephant Tusk is an off-white with a noticeable putty undertone, giving it a warm, yellowish-tan cast compared to cleaner whites. It registers an LRV of 69.5, reflecting enough light to open up a room while still reading as a distinct color rather than a stark white. It functions well on walls, trim, or cabinetry in both traditional and modern applications.

For coordination within Benjamin Moore, pair it with Simply White or Swiss Coffee for a layered neutral scheme, or use Kendall Charcoal, Hale Navy, or Palladian Blue for contrast.
