Benjamin Moore

Wellesley Buff

107 / HC-54

Wellesley Buff (HC-6) by Benjamin Moore is a pastel that blends apricot and cream, resulting in soft orange undertones against a light base. Its LRV of 66.99 means it reflects a substantial portion of light, contributing brightness to interiors. The orange undertone is restrained enough to avoid reading as overtly peachy, instead maintaining a neutral-warm position.

Recommended same-brand pairings include White Dove, Simply White, Hale Navy, Hawthorne Yellow, and Concord Ivory, spanning both tonal harmony and deliberate contrast options.
