Benjamin Moore

Desert Sunset

2155-10

Desert Sunset is a saturated amber with strong orange undertones, placing it firmly in the warm color range. Its LRV of 30.88 means it reflects limited light and reads as a mid-to-dark tone on walls. The orange base intensifies under warm lighting and may shift slightly yellow under cool LEDs.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Hale Navy or Forest Green for direct contrast against its warm undertone. Golden Straw provides an analogous option, while White Dove or Navajo White work as lighter neutral companions.
