Roxbury Caramel

HC-42

Roxbury Caramel is a medium-depth warm tone with distinct apricot and orange undertones, registering an LRV of 40.08. It reflects a moderate amount of light and reads as a saturated, amber-leaning neutral on larger surfaces. Under incandescent lighting the orange base intensifies, while daylight reveals more of its tan qualities.

Benjamin Moore Van Deusen Blue and Hunter Green provide cool-toned counterpoints that emphasize the warmth. Manchester Tan and Alexandria Beige sit in a similar tonal range for low-contrast combinations. Black Forest Green introduces darker value contrast.
