Benjamin Moore

Thousand Islands

CC-308 / 1038

Thousand Islands is a neutral beige from Benjamin Moore with evenly balanced warm undertones. At an LRV of 60.66, it reflects a moderate-to-high amount of light, lending rooms a sense of openness without washing out adjacent finishes. The warm base reads as a soft tan rather than yellow, keeping it grounded across lighting conditions.

It coordinates well with Manchester Tan, White Dove, Pale Oak, Edgecomb Gray, and Hale Navy, working as either a primary wall color or a supporting tone in layered neutral schemes.
