Benjamin Moore

Manchester Tan

HC-81 / 955

Manchester Tan is a warm beige grounded by subtle yellow-green undertones that prevent it from skewing too pink or too gold. With an LRV of 63.24, it reads as a solid mid-tone neutral, light enough to serve as a background color but with enough depth to feel deliberate. In cooler north-facing light, the green undertone becomes more apparent, in warmer light, it leans sandstone.

White Dove or Classic Gray make reliable trim pairings, while Hale Navy or Essex Green deliver clean contrast. Saybrook Sage and Lenox Tan extend the warm neutral range in adjacent spaces.
