Benjamin Moore

Serengeti Sand

2164-40

Serengeti Sand registers as a warm, mid-depth neutral with clear orange and brown undertones. Its LRV of 30.22 places it on the darker side of the mid-range, meaning it absorbs more light than it reflects and can make spaces feel enclosed. The orange cast intensifies under incandescent light and softens in north-facing rooms.

Benjamin Moore Grant Beige and Manchester Tan pair closely in tone, while Lenox Tan offers a lighter step up. Van Buren Brown works as a deeper accent, and White Dove provides necessary contrast at trim level.
