What color is Benjamin Moore Driftscape Tan?

Benjamin Moore Driftscape Tan 2106-50 is a muted, mid-light tan with a noticeable rosy-beige cast. Its low-saturation color keeps it from reading overtly pink, while the warm red and soft gray influence give walls a gently weathered look. In bright daylight, Driftscape Tan can appear like a pale clay beige; at night, it tends to look deeper and more taupe-rose. It suits bedrooms, dining rooms, and living spaces where a neutral needs more character than standard beige. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, aged brass, natural oak, or linen upholstery for a grounded, layered palette.

What are Benjamin Moore Driftscape Tan undertones?

Driftscape Tan is a mid-light, very muted caramel tan. The HEX sample has a subtle orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Driftscape Tan

Driftscape Tan has an LRV of 43.2% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).

Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 43.2%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft² living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
