Benjamin Moore

Camel

2165-10

Camel is a warm brown with gold and caramel undertones. Its LRV of 21.38 places it in the dark mid-tone range. It is suitable for living rooms, libraries, or dining areas that need a warm neutral.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Golden Straw or Antique White for adjacent warmth. Hale Navy or Chocolate Candy Brown provide deeper contrast. In warmer light, the undertone stays present and the color can deepen slightly.
