Benjamin Moore

Antique Copper

1169

Antique Copper is a deep orange with a warm brown undertone that places it firmly in earthy territory. With an LRV of 20.22, it absorbs a significant amount of light and reads noticeably dark on walls, particularly in rooms with limited natural light. The low reflectance makes it better suited to accent applications or spaces where a dense, grounding tone is wanted.

It pairs cleanly with White Dove or Simply White on trim, and Kendall Charcoal can reinforce its depth on adjacent surfaces. Warmer neighbors like Golden Straw and Chestertown Buff build a cohesive warm scheme without sharp transitions.

Antique Copper in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
