Benjamin Moore

Beeswax

2157-40

Beeswax is an apricot with orange undertones that keep it warm. Its LRV of 52 reflects a mid level of light, so it reads clear on walls. Warm light increases the orange note.

It is suitable for kitchens, dining rooms, or accent walls where a warm orange is needed, and it can be used on smaller accent surfaces. Pair it with White Sand and Subtle for light balance, and add Hale Navy or Coral Spice for contrast.
