A neutral color in name only, Muslin OC-12 is part of the Benjamin Moore Off-White Color Collection but appears as a beige hue with pink undertones. The soft color serves as a grounding element amidst our busy lives and makes your home a place of comfort and growth.

Muslin is a very soft beige, with some warm undertones. I don’t think it’s too yellow, especially in a north facing room. But it can skew that way if you are putting it in a south facing space.

This colour is not really a cream, or a tan, or a gray. It’s kind-of right in the middle. Although it’s not flashy, it definitely is a ‘safe’ colour. Because this is such a ‘safe’ colour works great in any room.
