What color is Benjamin Moore Jackson Tan?
Benjamin Moore Jackson Tan HC-46 is a muted medium tan with a clearly warm, earthy cast. Its #AA896A color value suggests beige-brown depth softened by clay-like, slightly rosy undertones rather than a sharp yellow tan. In bright daylight, it can read as a lighter, sun-warmed neutral, while lower light brings out its grounded brown character. Jackson Tan is well suited to living rooms, dining rooms, entryways, and exterior siding where a warmer neutral is wanted without going too dark. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep brown wood, aged brass, terracotta textiles, or charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Jackson Tan
Jackson Tan has an LRV of 27.77% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?
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 27.77%, 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.
