Benjamin Moore

Sepia Tan

1116 / CC-276

Sepia Tan is a warm neutral with soft orange undertones that give it a toasted, parchment-like quality. At an LRV of 51.37, it reflects roughly half the available light, keeping walls warm without excessive brightness. The orange base becomes more visible under incandescent lighting and more muted in cool daylight.

It reads as a straightforward warm beige from a distance. Benjamin Moore White Dove and Muslin pair well as lighter companions, while Alexandria Beige sits in a close tonal range. Hale Navy provides strong contrast, and Revere Pewter bridges the gap between warm and neutral.
