Benjamin Moore

Maple Sugar

2160-30

Maple Sugar 2160-30 is a deep golden ochre with warm amber undertones and a slight brown base that prevents it from reading as a clean yellow. With an LRV of 34.27, it sits in the lower-mid range, absorbing more light than it reflects and appearing noticeably rich on larger surfaces. The warmth is consistent across lighting conditions, though it may shift slightly more orange under incandescent light.

Golden Straw and Chestertown Buff harmonize as lighter tonal companions, while Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy provide firm contrast. Misty Blue and Pale Oak help temper its intensity.
