Benjamin Moore

Rio Rancho Clay

111

Rio Rancho Clay is an earthy mid-tone orange with red undertones, carrying an LRV of 34, which gives it moderate reflectance and a grounded presence without being overly dark. The hue reads as a muted terracotta rather than a bright orange, with enough warmth to shift noticeably under incandescent versus daylight conditions. It coordinates with Benjamin Moore Van Deusen Blue for a cool complementary contrast, Black Forest Green for a deep natural pairing, Warm Sienna for a close analogous extension, Adobe Orange for monochromatic layering, and Simply White for a clean, high-contrast trim.

Rio Rancho Clay in Different Light

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
