Benjamin Moore

Jackson Tan

HC-46

Jackson Tan is a warm mid-tone brown with ginger and nut-brown undertones that give it an earthy, grounded character. At an LRV of 27.77, it sits in the lower-middle range for reflectance, producing a substantive depth without going dark. The warm orange-brown base becomes more evident under incandescent lighting, while daylight reveals a slightly more balanced brown read.

It pairs effectively with Benjamin Moore Manchester Tan, Monroe Bisque, Hale Navy, Dragon's Breath, and Autumn Leaf, supporting both tonal warm schemes and sharper contrast combinations.
