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.

Mohave Desert 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.
