Mansfield Tan

248 / HC-29

Mansfield Tan is a warm, sandy neutral with soft yellow undertones that distinguish it from pinker or grayer beiges. At an LRV of 59.79, it falls in the upper-mid range of light reflectance, reading as a definitive color rather than an off-white while still keeping rooms reasonably bright. The yellow cast is moderate and becomes more evident in spaces with abundant natural light.

White Dove and Edgecomb Gray work well alongside it for a layered warm-neutral scheme, while Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal supply strong tonal contrast. Palladian Blue offers a cool complement to its inherent warmth.

Mansfield Tan in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
