Benjamin Moore

Dried Mustard

2158-10

Dried Mustard is a deep orange-brown with strong warm undertones. At an LRV of 25.71, it absorbs a notable amount of light and reads as a rich, saturated mid-tone on walls. The orange base gives it clear warmth, while the brown grounds it and prevents it from appearing too bright.

This makes it functional as an accent wall color or in smaller rooms where depth is the goal. It coordinates with Benjamin Moore White Dove, Manchester Tan, Hale Navy, Chantilly Lace, and Kendall Charcoal.
