Benjamin Moore

Mexican Tile

1194 / CC-184

Mexican Tile is a muted terra-cotta with noticeable brown and pink undertones. With an LRV of 30.31, it falls in the medium-dark range, reflecting enough light to function on larger wall surfaces without overwhelming a room. The color carries a dusty quality that tempers its warmth.

From the Benjamin Moore line, it coordinates well with White Heron OC-57, Westcott Navy 1624, Decorator's White OC-149, and Coventry Gray HC-169. Bleeker Beige HC-80 offers another neutral grounding option alongside this terra-cotta.

Mexican Tile in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
