Benjamin Moore

Tawny Bisque

1110

Tawny Bisque (BM) is a muted, warm neutral with blended yellow and orange undertones, registering an LRV of 46.5. This mid-range reflectance means it reads as a definite warm tone on the wall without being particularly light or dark. The yellow-orange cast gives it a sandy, wheat-like quality that distinguishes it from cooler beiges.

Under warm artificial light, the orange component will become more visible. It pairs well with Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Kendall Charcoal, Newburg Green, Soft Pumpkin, and Weston Flax.

Tawny Bisque 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.
