Color Spotlight – Tan & Beige 

Each month we spotlight a new color palette to show our readers the wide range of hues that can be used within a home or business as well as on the exteriors. This month we are exploring some of the most popular shades of tan or beige in the neutral color family. 

In the home design world, trends come and go. The same is true of color choices. Thankfully, there are some color families that remain classic and fairly popular year after year. Neutral paint colors such as tans and beiges are two examples of classics that never go out of style and can be a welcoming backdrop for furnishings and accent pieces. 

Here are a few of our favorite neutrals in the tan and beige families from Benjamin Moore Paints. 

Manchester Tan 

By far, one of the most popular beige tones in the Benjamin Moore neutral collection is Manchester Tan. The warm, deep tone has a bit of a green undertone that works well with light wood and flooring. 

Described as “a fresh, sophisticated beige that conjures stately sandstone façades.” by Benjamin Moore designers, this neutral has been gracing the walls of living rooms across the country for years. 

Muslin 

Another favorite in the neutral family of beiges is Muslin by Benjamin Moore. This hue is slightly lighter than Manchester Tan and has less of an undertone. Designers at BM describe it as “a warm, welcoming neutral that captures the effortless charm of organic materials.”

Bleeker Beige 

Bleeker Beige is a welcoming beige, yet a slight bit darker than Muslin and Manchester Tan and has undertones in the gray family. BM Designers describe this warm neutral as “a medium buff hue with pleasing gray undertones.”

Wind’s Breath

This beautifully named beige boasts a lighter beige that borders on the gray family. The BM Designers describe Wind’s Breath as a beige with “warm gray undertones that give this neutral a welcoming, relaxed quality.”

Lenox Tan 

This deeper tan, called Lenox Tan, reminds us of classic khaki pants and the neutrals that allow furnishings to pop on a neutral backdrop. Described as “an appealing khaki color that strikes a balance between classic comfort and modern-day elegance” by designers, we love this hue.
