Benjamin Moore

Dulce de Leche

CSP-250

Dulce de Leche is a warm beige with caramel and cream undertones that produce a soft, yellow-tan appearance on walls. It has an LRV of 64.54, reflecting a moderate-to-high amount of light, which helps brighten a room while retaining noticeable warmth. It is appropriate for living areas, kitchens, and hallways in both traditional and contemporary settings.

The warm base pairs naturally with Benjamin Moore's White Dove and Swiss Coffee for a tonal scheme. For stronger contrast, Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy work well, and Palladian Blue offers a cool complement.
