Benjamin Moore

Late Wheat

CC-240 / 228

Late Wheat is a warm neutral with golden undertones that place it squarely in the amber-tan family. With an LRV of 47.41, it occupies the middle ground between light and medium depth, reading as a substantive color rather than a pale wash. The gold influence gives it a distinctly warm lean that shifts toward honey in strong natural light.

White Dove and Edgecomb Gray pair well as lighter companions, while Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal provide clean contrast. Guilford Green and Warm Sienna offer complementary and analogous coordination.
