Benjamin Moore

Eye of the Tiger

188

Eye of the Tiger is a yellow-orange with warm, earthy undertones. Its LRV of 46.9 places it in the mid-range for light reflectance, providing moderate brightness without appearing washed out. This color suits walls in living rooms or dining areas where a warm but grounded tone is appropriate.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Chelsea Gray or Kendall Charcoal for a darker contrast, Golden Honey or Bronze Tone to extend the warm palette, and Chantilly Lace for a clean, high-contrast trim.
