Indian Summer

CC-186 / 102

Indian Summer is a bronzed peach with noticeable orange undertones that give it a warm, earthy quality. With an LRV of 45.21, it reflects a moderate amount of light and works in living rooms or dining spaces where warmth is appropriate. The color leans toward terracotta territory without becoming too saturated.

It pairs naturally with Benjamin Moore Simply White and Classic Gray for neutral grounding, while Golden Straw and Hale Navy offer complementary warm and contrasting options.

Indian Summer in Different Light
