Benjamin Moore

Sisal

CC-304 / 1069

Sisal registers an LRV of 42.87, placing it firmly in the mid-tone range. It reads as a warm tan with yellow-brown undertones, producing a sandy, earthy appearance on walls. The warmth is consistent but not overly saturated, keeping it grounded as a neutral rather than a distinct color statement.

Under cooler lighting the brown base becomes more prominent, while warmer light amplifies the golden quality. It coordinates with Benjamin Moore White Dove, Muslin, Hale Navy, Saybrook Sage, and Shaker Beige. It is well suited for walls in spaces where a warm neutral backdrop is needed.

Sisal in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
