English Ochre

CW-290

English Ochre is a mid-depth warm tone that combines golden yellow and light brown undertones. It has an LRV of 26.32, placing it in the lower-medium reflectance range suitable for accent walls or smaller rooms where a deeper effect is desired. The muted saturation keeps the color grounded without appearing overly bright.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Grant Beige, Hale Navy, Chestertown Buff, and Hawthorne Yellow. Use it in studies, dining rooms, or traditional interiors where warm, historically referenced tones are appropriate.
