Benjamin Moore

Copper Kettle

1218

Copper Kettle from Benjamin Moore is a mid-tone orange tempered by brown undertones, which pull it toward an earthy, muted register rather than a bright citrus range. It has an LRV of 16.41, so it sits on the darker side of the mid-tone spectrum and absorbs a fair amount of light. The color holds well in dining rooms, living spaces, or as a kitchen accent wall.

Lenox Tan and Weimaraner work alongside it as warm, low-contrast companions. For stronger differentiation, Hale Navy provides a deep cool counterpoint, and Saybrook Sage introduces a muted green that balances the warmth.
