Benjamin Moore

Audubon Russet

HC-51

Audubon Russet is a rich terra-cotta with earthy orange undertones and an LRV of 20.95, giving it moderate depth that absorbs more light than it reflects. The color falls in the orange-brown range and maintains visible warmth across lighting conditions. It shifts slightly more orange under incandescent light and more neutral under daylight.

Benjamin Moore Hale Navy provides a strong complementary contrast, while Lenox Tan and Shaker Beige serve as lighter warm companions that share its earthy foundation without competing for attention.
