Deep Ochre

1048 / HC-37

Deep Ochre is a warm bronze with pronounced honey and yellow-brown undertones. It has an LRV of 26.68, placing it in the medium-dark range suitable for accent walls or full-room application in well-lit spaces. The earthy warmth reads distinctly golden under natural light.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore Golden Straw, Lenox Tan, Hawthorne Yellow, Van Deusen Blue, and Stratton Blue. Pairing it with cooler blues provides tonal contrast, while adjacent warm neutrals maintain a consistent temperature throughout the palette.
