Benjamin Moore

Peanut Shell

2162-40

Benjamin Moore Peanut Shell is a creamy tan with subtle orange undertones and an LRV of 35.18, placing it in the mid-range for light reflectance. The slight orange cast warms the tan base and prevents it from reading as flat or overly neutral. This color is practical in living rooms, kitchens, and transitional spaces where a warm neutral wall is needed.

Benjamin Moore Creamy White works as a coordinating trim color, while Golden Straw and Pale Moon extend the warm palette on adjacent walls. For deeper contrast, Cushing Green or Caliente can be applied to accent elements or cabinetry.
