El Cajon Clay

1260 / HC-64, TH-30

El Cajon Clay is a deep burgundy with warm, red-brown undertones consistent with its clay-soil reference. At an LRV of 8.22, it falls into the dark value range and will absorb most ambient light, making it best suited for accent applications or well-lit rooms. The warm undertone keeps it from reading as purely cool despite its depth.

For balance, pair it with Benjamin Moore Simply White or White Dove. Essex Green provides a tonal complement, while Rustic Taupe or Adobe Beige offer analogous coordination.
