Benjamin Moore

Egyptian Clay

CSP-1140

Egyptian Clay is a warm orange with a strong terracotta undertone, reading as a saturated earth tone on the wall. It has an LRV of 16.7, placing it in the deep end of the mid-tone range, so it will absorb a significant amount of light. This color is well suited for accent walls or smaller rooms where depth is desired.

For coordination, consider Benjamin Moore Simply White or Muslin to offset its warmth, Hale Navy for contrast, or Peach Parfait to maintain an analogous warm scheme.
