Benjamin Moore

Light Khaki

2148-40

Light Khaki sits at an LRV of 54.46, making it a mid-range neutral that absorbs more light than typical off-whites and reads as a definite color on the wall. Its base combines yellow and brown undertones with a slight green lean, characteristic of the khaki family. White Dove, Soft Chamois, and Manchester Tan all work as coordinating lighter tones for trim or ceilings.

Hale Navy or Hunter Green create strong value contrast in a grounded, traditional direction. Wythe Blue or Georgian Green offer unexpected but compatible pairings.
