Squire Hill Buff

Benjamin Moore · 1068

The Analysis

Squire Hill Buff is a balanced, mid-toned neutral that grounds a space without making it feel closed in. With an LRV of 57.03, it reflects a moderate amount of light, which helps brighten a room while providing more depth and warmth than a standard off-white.

This shade functions perfectly as a primary wall color throughout an entire floor plan because it acts as a neutral backdrop that doesn't compete with your furniture. It provides enough saturation to make trim and architectural details pop without being overwhelming.

LRV 57

History & Origin

This is a classic, traditional neutral that mirrors the look of heritage homes and historic interiors. Its earthy, complex undertones feel established and timeless rather than trendy or hyper-modern.

How to Use It

It pairs beautifully with warm wood tones like walnut or oak and works well with oil-rubbed bronze or unlacquered brass hardware. Use it in living rooms or kitchens where you want a welcoming, high-traffic atmosphere.

The Mood

Living with this color feels stable and grounded. It leans toward a warm, reliable aesthetic that feels more restful than a stark white, making it an excellent choice for creating a cozy, stress-free environment.

Colour harmonies

Complementary

Opposite on the colour wheel — bold, high-contrast pairings. Use for a feature wall or furniture you want to command attention.

Analogous

Neighbouring hues — cohesive and calm, great for layered schemes that feel collected rather than matched.

Split complementary

Near-opposites for strong contrast with a little less tension than a pure complement. A favourite of interior designers.

Triadic

Three evenly spaced hues — balanced, vibrant, and versatile. Keep one dominant and use the others sparingly.

Tetradic (square)

Four hues in a square on the wheel — rich, dynamic palettes. Best when one colour leads and the others accent.

Monochromatic

Dark, mid, and light steps on the same hue — a failsafe gradient for trim, walls, and accents without shifting colour family.
