Benjamin Moore

Adobe Orange

2171-30

Adobe Orange is a bold, warm orange from Benjamin Moore with strong coral-red undertones. Its LRV of 24.52 places it on the darker side of mid-tones, so it works well as an accent or feature wall color rather than a whole-room treatment. In rooms with good natural light it reads as a saturated, sunbaked orange.

Benjamin Moore Hale Navy or Evening Blue provide strong contrast, while Peach Parfait softens the palette. Cloud White and Chantilly Lace keep surrounding trim crisp against this assertive hue.
