Benjamin Moore

Ranchwood

CC-500 / 985

Ranchwood by Benjamin Moore is a mid-depth taupe with undertones that shift between warm and cool depending on the light source and surrounding palette. Its LRV of 36.66 places it in the lower-middle reflectance range, absorbing moderate light while still maintaining readability on walls. The color carries gray-brown complexity, which prevents it from skewing too yellow or too pink.

It pairs naturally with White Dove for a clean contrast, Classic Gray for a softer transition, and Palladian Blue to draw out its cooler side. Hale Navy and Saybrook Sage offer stronger complementary depth.
