Benjamin Moore

Kurkuma

AF-350

Kurkuma is a golden-brown with pronounced yellow undertones that give it a distinctly spiced, ochre quality. Its LRV of 31.67 keeps it in the lower-mid range of reflectance, lending it enough weight to function as an accent or feature color without feeling heavy. The gold cast intensifies under warm incandescent light and mutes slightly under cooler daylight.

White Sand and Timid White work as clean, lighter companions. Hale Navy or Black Beauty deliver sharp contrast, while Rich Cream and Soleil extend the warm palette through analogous tonal layering.
