Benjamin Moore

Amaretto

CSP-325

Amaretto by Benjamin Moore is a warm golden-brown with noticeable almond and sugarcane undertones. It has an LRV of 16.42, placing it on the darker end of the spectrum, which means it absorbs most ambient light and reads as a rich, grounded tone on walls. This makes it a practical option for accent walls, dining rooms, or studies where depth and warmth are needed.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore colors like White Dove, Simply White, Hale Navy, Autumn Leaf, and Canyon Clay, supporting both contrast-driven and tonal schemes.
