Benjamin Moore

Palm Desert Tan

1123 / CC-488

Palm Desert Tan by Benjamin Moore is a medium tan with golden amber undertones that give it a distinctly warm, earthy quality. Its Light Reflectance Value of 43.3 places it in the mid-brightness range, providing enough depth to anchor a room without making it feel dark. This shade works well in living rooms, dining areas, and bedrooms where a warm neutral backdrop is needed.

Benjamin Moore's White Sand and Monterey White pair naturally as lighter complements, while Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal introduce contrast. Guilford Green offers a muted green accent that balances the amber warmth.
