Benjamin Moore

Ticonderoga Taupe

992 / CC-452

Ticonderoga Taupe is a smoky taupe from Benjamin Moore with warm gray-brown undertones that place it between a true gray and a light brown. Its LRV of 27.51 puts it in the lower-mid range of reflectance, meaning it reads as a noticeably dark neutral on walls. The smoky quality comes from a slight cool gray influence that prevents it from appearing purely warm.

It coordinates with White Dove, Edgecomb Gray, Hale Navy, Palladian Blue, and Wickham Gray, and it works well in rooms with ample light to offset its lower reflectance.
