Benjamin Moore

Roasted Sesame Seed

2160-40

Roasted Sesame Seed is a honeyed bronze with warm orange-gold undertones and an LRV of 50.62, situating it at the midpoint of the reflectance scale. This mid-tone reads as a soft, burnished gold that shifts slightly more orange in warm lighting and more neutral in cooler daylight. Its moderate reflectance allows it to function as either a wall color or an accent without overwhelming a space.

Combine it with White Sand or Monroe Bisque for tonal continuity, contrast it against Newburg Green or Hale Navy, and layer in Desert Tan for a warm analogous grouping.
