Desert Beach

1104

Desert Beach is a warm mid-tone with caramel, earthy brown, and muted orange undertones. Its LRV of 32.31 positions it in the medium range, providing moderate depth without overwhelming a room. The orange-brown bias becomes more pronounced under warm artificial lighting.

This shade suits rustic and southwestern design schemes where warm earth tones anchor the palette. Effective same-brand pairings include Benjamin Moore Golden Straw, Clay Beige, Hale Navy, Salamander, and Simply White.
