Benjamin Moore

Lenox Tan

HC-44

Lenox Tan is a mid-tone khaki with an LRV of 43.14, grounded by warm yellow-brown undertones and a slight green cast that keeps it from reading too golden. It holds enough depth to anchor a room without darkening it significantly. The color pairs well with White Dove and Edgecomb Gray on trim and adjacent walls, while Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal provide strong tonal contrast.

Introducing Palladian Blue as an accent brings a cooler counterpoint that highlights the warmth in this khaki.
