Benjamin Moore

Runyon Canyon Tan

1140 / CC-272

Runyon Canyon Tan sits in the warm brown-orange family with pronounced caramel and cognac undertones. Its LRV of 18.27 means it absorbs considerable light, producing a deep, enveloping effect on walls. The orange base becomes more apparent in strong natural light, while artificial warm light amplifies the caramel quality.

It shares tonal ground with Benjamin Moore Saddle Tan and Copper Mountain, making layered warm schemes straightforward to build. Lighter neutrals such as White Dove and Pale Oak provide necessary contrast, and a deeper accent like Deep Cavern adds dimension without disrupting the warm palette.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
