Benjamin Moore

Flower Pot

CC-96 / 56

Flower Pot is a warm terra-cotta color built from balanced orange, red, and brown undertones. With an LRV of 22.2, it absorbs light and reads as a grounded, dense surface color. It is commonly used in dining areas, living rooms, or exterior applications where an earthy tone is appropriate.

The warmth remains consistent across different lighting conditions. Flower Pot pairs naturally with Benjamin Moore Creamy White and Golden Straw, while deeper contrasts like Newburyport Blue or Guacamole sharpen its warmth, and Lenox Tan supports smoother transitions.

Flower Pot in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
