Benjamin Moore

Palace Pearl

CW-650

Palace Ochre from Benjamin Moore is a mid-tone yellow ochre with a notable green shift in its undertone, giving it an earthy, layered warmth that distinguishes it from standard golds. It registers an LRV of 33.73, placing it in the medium-depth range and making it well suited for dining rooms, libraries, and living spaces where a grounded warmth is needed. The green-influenced ochre base pairs effectively with deeper contrasts like Hale Navy and Salamander, while Chestertown Buff and Hampshire Taupe extend its warm, earthy range.

Simply White provides a clean trim contrast that keeps the overall scheme balanced.
