Hemp Seed

CC-578 / 234

Hemp Seed is a medium beige with golden undertones that create a warm, neutral foundation. With an LRV of 54.6, this color reflects a moderate amount of light while maintaining depth. The golden quality pairs well with Benjamin Moore's White Dove for a layered neutral scheme, while Kendall Charcoal provides definition through contrast.

Pale Oak and Edgecomb Gray work as transitional tones in adjacent spaces, and Newburg Green can introduce an earthy accent. This shade functions well in living rooms, hallways, and dining areas where a grounded neutral is needed.

Hemp Seed in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
