Benjamin Moore

Approaching Autumn

CSP-1090

Approaching Autumn is a warm orange with brown undertones that shift slightly more amber under incandescent light. At an LRV of 45.68 it sits in the mid-range of reflectance, reading neither heavy nor overly bright on most wall surfaces. Golden Straw and Tawny Bisque extend the warm side of the palette in a tonal direction.

For a cooler counterpoint, Newburg Green or Night Shade supply contrast without clashing. Soft Fern works as a muted accent, and Cloud Cover holds steady as a neutral trim.
