Benjamin Moore

Mohave Desert

1115

Mohave Desert is a creamy, warm beige with yellow-orange undertones that give it a distinct sandy cast. With an LRV of 63.64, it sits firmly in the light range and reflects a generous amount of natural and artificial light. The orange warmth in its base means it will read noticeably warmer than gray-beige neutrals and may amplify yellow tones in south-facing rooms.

It coordinates with Honeywheat for a tonal warm palette and White Dove for trim contrast. Barley and Windham Cream serve as lighter companions, while Lenox Tan adds depth without shifting the overall warmth.
