Benjamin Moore

Natural Linen

966 / CC-90

Benjamin Moore Natural Linen (966) is a sandy neutral with yellow-green undertones that give it a warm but grounded character. With an LRV of 59.84, it lands in the upper-mid range of light reflectance, bright enough for main walls yet noticeably warmer than a typical off-white. The yellow component can become more visible under incandescent lighting.

Dune White (968) and White Heron (OC-57) work as trim or ceiling companions, while Ocean Floor (1630) adds a dark grounding element. Stormy Monday (2112-50) introduces a cooler gray contrast, and Woodacres (1020) extends its earthy range.
