Benjamin Moore

Tyler Taupe

HC-43

Tyler Taupe by Benjamin Moore is a deep tan with pronounced golden undertones that give it a distinctly warm, amber-leaning character. At an LRV of 31.85, it sits in the moderately dark range and absorbs enough light to provide noticeable depth on the wall. The golden base separates it from pink-toned or gray-toned taupes, keeping it firmly in the warm neutral category.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore's Lenox Tan and Monroe Bisque for tonal continuity, while Newburg Green and Hale Navy supply cooler contrast. Manchester Tan serves as a lighter step within the same warm family.
