Benjamin Moore

Amber

168

Amber by Benjamin Moore is a mid-tone orange with a noticeable brown undertone that pulls it toward the earthy side of the spectrum. Its LRV of 27.02 places it in the lower-medium reflectance range, so it will read as a warm, moderately dark shade in most lighting conditions. This makes it a reasonable option for dining rooms, kitchen accents, or feature walls.

It coordinates naturally with Benjamin Moore Navajo White and Butterscotch for a tonal warm scheme, and contrasts effectively against Newburg Green, Hale Navy, or Terra Cotta.
