Benjamin Moore

Shelburne Buff

HC-28

Shelburne Buff is a warm tan with golden-yellow undertones that place it firmly in the honeyed neutral category. Its LRV of 47.16 puts it at moderate reflectance, so it will hold its warmth without washing out in well-lit spaces but can feel heavier in darker rooms. The yellow base becomes more visible under incandescent lighting.

It coordinates with Benjamin Moore Lenox Tan for a tonal pairing, Monroe Bisque as a lighter complement, Cloud White for crisp trim, Hale Navy for a strong cool contrast, and Kendall Charcoal as a deep accent color.
