About Westchester Tan
Westchester Tan (246) is a very light beige from Benjamin Moore with a warm yellow undertone. With an LRV of 81, Westchester Tan reflects most of the light that hits it, which helps small or dim rooms feel larger.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Westchester Tan's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for open-plan living areas, hallways, living rooms and bedrooms. It's very close to Knitted Cape (CSP-965); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
