Benjamin Moore

Soft Beige

2156-60

Soft Beige sits at an LRV of 79.48, making it a high-reflectance neutral with distinct peach undertones that separate it from cooler beige alternatives. The warm, slightly pink-orange cast becomes more visible in rooms with abundant natural light, while artificial warm lighting can push it further toward apricot. It reads as a tinted neutral rather than a saturated color.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore White Dove, Edgecomb Gray, Classic Gray, Hale Navy, and Pale Oak, where fellow warm neutrals maintain cohesion and darker accents provide contrast.
