Benjamin Moore

Norwester Tan

CC-332 / 1041

Norwester Tan by Benjamin Moore is a golden brown defined by strong amber undertones that push it toward a warm, saturated mid-tone. Its LRV of 28.51 places it in the lower-middle reflectance range, giving rooms a sense of warmth and enclosure without going fully dark. It works well in living rooms and dining areas where warm wood furniture or leather upholstery is present.

The amber base coordinates naturally with Benjamin Moore Swiss Coffee, Manchester Tan, Hale Navy, Hunter Green, and White Dove, allowing for both tonal warmth and sharper contrast depending on the palette direction.
