Benjamin Moore

Hillcrest Tan

1078 / AC-6

Hillcrest Tan is a warm organic brown with distinct earthy undertones that give it a rugged, natural quality. At an LRV of 24.96, this moderately dark shade works well in spaces like living rooms or libraries where depth and warmth are desired. The color suits rustic and traditional interiors but also functions in contemporary settings.

It pairs naturally with Benjamin Moore White Dove for a clean contrast, Edgecomb Gray for a cohesive neutral scheme, Revere Pewter for layered warmth, and Hale Navy or Hunter Green when a stronger accent is needed.
