Benjamin Moore

Marble Canyon

227 / CC-260

Marble Canyon 227 is a medium tan with layered brown and beige undertones that carry a faint greenish-khaki cast in certain lighting. Its LRV of 56.28 places it near the center of the reflectance scale, making it a moderate, workable neutral that neither brightens nor darkens a space dramatically. The warmth is restrained compared to golden tans, leaning more toward stone than honey.

White Sand, Grant Beige, and Muslin sit comfortably alongside it in a tonal palette, while Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal sharpen the composition. Saybrook Sage and Nantucket Gray extend its neutral range.

Marble Canyon 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.
