Benjamin Moore

Porter Ridge Tan

250

Porter Ridge Tan is a deep tannish brown from Benjamin Moore with pronounced golden undertones that contribute warmth and visual depth. At an LRV of 34.42, it absorbs a significant amount of light, producing a grounded, subdued effect well suited to living rooms, dining areas, and home studies. The golden cast becomes more apparent in natural light, reinforcing the color's earthy character.

It coordinates effectively with Benjamin Moore's Lenox Tan, Golden Straw, Shaker Beige, and Ballet White, and can be offset with a darker accent such as Newburg Green for added contrast.
