What color is Benjamin Moore Grazing Fawn?

Benjamin Moore Grazing Fawn 1220 is a muted mid-tone beige with a noticeable warm, peach-tan cast. Its earthy color value keeps it from reading as a pale neutral, giving walls more presence without becoming dark or heavy. In brighter daylight, Grazing Fawn can show its soft apricot warmth, while lower or warmer artificial light may bring out a deeper caramel-beige appearance. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where wood flooring, aged brass, linen, and woven natural textures are part of the palette. Pair this shade with creamy off-whites for trim, clay or terracotta accents, and deeper brown furnishings for a grounded layered look.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.

The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
