Benjamin Moore

Wheeling Neutral

HC-92

Wheeling Neutral (HC-92) is a mid-range beige from Benjamin Moore with blended taupe and gray undertones that keep it from reading overtly warm or cool. It registers an LRV of 51.56, placing it squarely in the medium-light range suitable for main walls in spaces with moderate natural light. The taupe base allows it to bridge warm and cool palettes without clashing.

Pair it within the Benjamin Moore line with White Dove, Manchester Tan, Edgecomb Gray, Chelsea Gray, or Kendall Charcoal for coordinated schemes across trim, cabinetry, and accent surfaces.
