/ Benjamin Moore / Questions + Manchester Tan Color Combination

Questions + Manchester Tan Color Combination

June 29, 2012 by Kristin Williams 3 Comments

Here is another e-mail I received from a reader. 

Love your blog and it is where I decided to go with BM Manchester Tan as a main color in our home. However, I’m stuck picking out a color to go with it. Can you recommend a color?

Manchester Tan is one of my all-time favorite neutrals. It’s one of those colors you can’t really go wrong with and it goes with just about anything. Do you remember this room (see more here) Becca submitted last year? It’s clean, crisp and I love the colors she chose as accents.

If you’re picking out a Benjamin Moore color, they have a great tool on their site that shows you paint combinations that will go with the color you are choosing. In this instance, if you search Manchester Tan and click on the link, it will take you to their site with two colors underneath that will coordinate with it – Jackson Tan and Squirrel Tail. You can also click on the link to the left that says more color combos and get Dried Basil and Sienna.

I put together a color combination with Squirrel Tail and Dried Basil but also added Vapor and Natural Linen, both which I love. All are paint colors that will look great with Manchester Tan. If you are looking for a great neutral, Manchester Tan is a beautiful color and one that I recommend often.


(Every computer screen shows a slightly different shade of color. Please make sure you use paint samples to see the true shade.)
*Make sure you do Vapor Trails and not just Vapor when sampling. I had Vapor on my original post by mistake, but it’s a white and not the blue/gray that you see above. Thanks!
