Benjamin Moore

Muddy York

CC-392 / 1012

Muddy York is a mid-tone taupe with clear mauve undertones that separate it from straightforward beige or tan. With an LRV of 35.67, it falls in the medium reflectance range and maintains enough depth to function as a wall color with visible presence. The mauve cast is most prominent in north-facing or cool-lit rooms, while warm light pulls out more of its brown base.

It belongs to Benjamin Moore's Designer Classics collection. This color works in tandem with Pale Oak (OC-20) for a lighter neutral trim, White Dove (OC-17) for a warmer white pairing, Revere Pewter (HC-172) as a cooler wall companion, and Balboa Mist (OC-27) for tonal layering.
