Westchester Tan

246

Westchester Tan (1002) by Benjamin Moore combines yellow and cream tones to produce a warm, light neutral. With an LRV of 77.95, it falls in the high-reflectance range and reads as an off-white in well-lit environments. Its yellow undertone is subtle, leaning toward cream rather than a saturated gold.

Effective same-brand pairings include White Dove, Soft Chamois, Swiss Coffee, Kendall Charcoal, and Hawthorne Yellow, providing options for monochromatic warmth as well as deeper accent contrasts.
