Benjamin Moore

Taiga

CC-696 / 1488

Taiga (Benjamin Moore) is a mid-depth taupe with a faint green undertone and an LRV of 28.5, which positions it as a medium-absorbing neutral. The green cast is subtle enough that the color reads primarily as a warm gray-brown in most lighting conditions, but becomes more apparent next to pure warm grays. It works within a tonal range alongside Benjamin Moore Grant Beige and Shaker Beige for low-contrast neutral groupings, while Pale Oak or White Dove can serve as lighter trim companions.

Night Horizon provides a darker value step for accent or lower-wall contrast.
