Benjamin Moore

Palace Tan

CW-35

Palace Tan from Benjamin Moore's Williamsburg collection is a neutral mid-tone inspired by aged 18th-century white paint, carrying mixed beige and gray undertones that lean warm without appearing yellow. It registers an LRV of 29.06, placing it in the medium-dark range where it absorbs a noticeable amount of light, making it well suited for studies, hallways, and living rooms where a grounded backdrop is needed. Palace Tan works effectively alongside Benjamin Moore's Edgecomb Gray, Revere Pewter, Kingsport Gray, Sandy Hook Gray, and Hale Navy, each of which either echoes its warm neutral base or provides tonal contrast.
