Benjamin Moore

Brilliant Amber

161

Brilliant Amber is a medium orange with honey and bronze undertones. Its LRV of 37.62 gives it mid depth, so it reads warm and substantial on walls. It fits dining rooms, kitchens, or accent walls where an orange-brown is needed.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore White Sand and Shaker Beige for warm neutrals, and with Hale Navy or Vintage Wine for contrast; Pale Moon or Soft Fern can soften the scheme.
