Benjamin Moore

Caramel Latte

2166-20

Caramel Latte is a muted orange with brown undertones, sitting between cognac and carrot on the spectrum. The LRV of 20.8 signals a darker mid-tone that reads richer on large surfaces. It is suitable for kitchens, dining areas, or an accent wall where warmth is desired.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Peach Parfait or Golden Straw for a related range of oranges and yellows. Vintage Vogue or Hale Navy add a cooler counterpoint.

Caramel Latte in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
