Benjamin Moore

Massicot

CW-380

Massicot is a warm golden-brown at hex #C79555, with an LRV of 34.15 that places it squarely in the medium range. Its undertones lean distinctly gold and amber, giving it a richness associated with aged metals rather than standard tan or camel tones. In cooler light it reads more brown, in warm or direct light the gold pushes forward noticeably.

Hale Navy or Black Pepper provide strong contrast pairings, while York Harbor Yellow or Livingston Gold extend the warm palette. White Dove and Revere Pewter balance it as neutrals.
