Benjamin Moore

Hazelnut Cream

2161-60

Hazelnut Cream is a soft beige with orange undertones that contribute a warm, creamy quality without overwhelming a space. With an LRV of 75.46, it reflects considerable light while maintaining its subtle color identity. This shade is suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, and transitional spaces where warmth and neutrality are both desired.

Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Muslin, and Simply White complement it for lighter pairings, while Kendall Charcoal and Hale Navy provide contrast. Golden Straw works as an analogous option.
