Benjamin Moore

Saddle Tan

1124 / CC-302

Saddle Tan is a mid-depth brown with amber undertones and an LRV of 33.76, giving it enough reflectance to function on full room walls without feeling heavy. The amber cast provides consistent warmth across lighting conditions, though it reads slightly more golden in direct sunlight. It falls comfortably in the neutral-warm category, holding its own alongside both cool and warm companions.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Monroe Bisque for a lighter tonal step, Lenox Tan for close harmony, Van Deusen Blue for cool contrast, Wrought Iron as a dark neutral anchor, and Dark Olive for muted green depth.

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.
