Benjamin Moore

Carrot Stick

2016-30

Carrot Stick is a saturated orange with warm undertones and a clear chroma. With an LRV of 41.12, it reads mid-depth and remains strong under most lighting. It is best used on an accent wall, kitchen island, or creative workspace where a bold hue is acceptable.

For balance, combine it with Benjamin Moore White Rock or Soleil to soften the palette. Hale Navy or Forest Green provide darker counterpoints.
