Manchester Tan

The Basics

What are people saying about this color?

When it comes to the undertones of Manchester Tan, you DO have to be careful as while it’s neutral, it does harbour a very subtle green undertone (in a yellow base). To say it’s passive would be an overstatement, however, if you were to put it with products with say, a pink/red undertone, it would be hard to miss! As for yellow, Manchester Tan has some of the MORE MUTED warm neutral undertones and you’d be hard-pressed to find it looking too yellow…or too anything – it’s pretty subtle!

It’s a sophisticated light greigey beige with a hint of a green undertone to keep it from veering yellow. That green undertone can also help it play really well with warm grays. This can particularly help with solid surfaces like granite, stone, and tile.
