Benjamin Moore

Desert Camel

2162-20

Desert Camel is a deep warm brown with yellow and amber undertones. It has an LRV of 15.52, making it a low-reflectance color that reads dark on walls and is best used as an accent or in well-lit spaces. The amber and yellow notes give it a golden warmth distinct from cooler browns.

It performs well in rustic or traditional interiors where rich, saturated tones are needed. Pair it with Benjamin Moore Golden Straw, Chestertown Buff, Old Navy, Salamander, or Soft Sand.
