Benjamin Moore

Ochre

2151-30

Ochre by Benjamin Moore is a medium-depth gold with pronounced olive and earthy undertones, registering an LRV of 33.73. The interplay of yellow and green-brown gives it a warm, grounded character distinct from brighter golds or pure yellows. It reads well on accent walls, in dining rooms, and in libraries where a saturated warm tone adds visual weight.

For coordinated schemes, Benjamin Moore Soft Fern and Golden Straw extend its warm palette, Hale Navy provides strong cool contrast, and Simply White or White Dove serve as clean, neutral trim options to offset its richness.
