Pittsfield Buff

HC-24

Pittsfield Buff is a warm beige with buttery peach undertones that give it consistent warmth. With an LRV of 59.74, it sits comfortably in the light-to-mid range and works well as a main wall color. It is suitable for living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms.

The undertone becomes more noticeable in warm lighting. Pittsfield Buff pairs smoothly with White Sand and Manchester Tan, and it gains contrast from Hale Navy or Hunter Green, while Palladian Blue and First Light soften the palette.
