Dash of Curry

2159-10

Dash of Curry is a warm yellow-orange with earthy undertones that recall the spiced, golden quality of turmeric. It has an LRV of 29.39, giving it enough reflectance to hold its own in moderately lit spaces without appearing washed out. The orange component keeps it from reading as a pure yellow, grounding it with warmth.

It coordinates with Benjamin Moore's Hale Navy, Newburg Green, Golden Honey, Bronze Tone, and Balboa Mist. This color is often used in kitchens and dining areas where a warm, saturated wall tone is appropriate.
