Benjamin Moore

Caramel Corn

2160-10

Caramel Corn is a warm golden brown with caramel undertones that read slightly yellow in bright light. Its LRV of 25.42 places it in the low-mid range, giving it visible depth without turning near-black. It suits dining rooms, dens, and accent walls that need a warm, earthy base.

Benjamin Moore Creamy White and Alabaster keep the palette light, while Terracotta reinforces the warm range. For contrast, Hale Navy or Hunter Green add cooler weight.
