Benjamin Moore

Old Claret

2083-30

Old Canal from Benjamin Moore is a warm, ruddy umber with distinct orange undertones and an LRV of 22.34, placing it in the deeper end of the mid-tone range. This earthy brown-orange reads as a grounded tone that works well in living rooms, kitchens, or dens where warmth and enclosure are desired. Its orange cast becomes more evident under warm artificial lighting and recedes under cooler daylight.

It coordinates with Benjamin Moore's Hale Navy and Secret Garden for complementary contrast, while Warm Sienna and Golden Straw maintain the warm palette, and Ballet White provides a light neutral balance.
