Benjamin Moore

Squire Hill Buff

1068

Squire Hill Buff is a mid-toned beige with noticeable yellow undertones that push it toward a warm, sandy appearance rather than a pink or gray neutral. At an LRV of 55.73, it reflects a moderate amount of light, keeping rooms from feeling either too dim or washed out. The warmth reads clearly on larger surfaces and becomes more pronounced under incandescent lighting.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore White Dove for trim, Pale Oak on adjacent walls, and Shaker Beige for tonal layering, while Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy provide firmer contrast on cabinetry or accent surfaces.
