Benjamin Moore

Military Tan

2148-30

Military Tan is a golden tan with distinct yellow and green undertones that give it an olive-inflected warmth, separating it from straightforward khaki or beige. With an LRV of 33.36, it sits in the medium range, providing enough depth to anchor a wall without absorbing too much light. The green undertone becomes more pronounced in north-facing rooms or under cooler lighting.

It coordinates with Grand Teton White (OC-132) for trim contrast and works alongside Sharkskin (2139-30), Fossil (AF-65), and Glacial Till (AF-390) to build layered neutral palettes.
