Benjamin Moore

Natural Beech

253

Natural Beech (253) is a light, warm off-white from Benjamin Moore with an LRV of 75.14, making it a high-reflectance color that reads close to cream. Its yellow undertones are the defining characteristic, giving it a sandy, wheat-like warmth that separates it from cooler whites and grays. It does not carry any pink or green cast, staying firmly in yellow-neutral territory.

It coordinates naturally with Chantilly Lace (OC-65) and Mountain Peak White (OC-121) for trim and ceiling applications, Hidden Oaks (1129) for a deeper tonal warm accent, and Providence Olive (HC-98) for an earthy contrast.
