Benjamin Moore

Handmade

AF-325

Handmade is a soft orange with warm undertones and an LRV of 68.36, giving it good light-reflecting properties. The orange is subdued rather than saturated, making it workable in living areas and kitchens. Benjamin Moore White Sand complements its warmth as a trim color, while French Press adds depth as an accent.

For contrast, Gentleman's Gray or Hunter Green provide cooler counterpoints. Analogous options like Buttered Yam or Pumpkin Spice can extend a warm palette while maintaining cohesion with this muted orange tone.
