Benjamin Moore

Rust

2175-30

Rust is a warm, mid-depth orange-brown with an LRV of 19.82, reading as a saturated accent tone on most surfaces. The balance between orange and brown is fairly even, though orange becomes more pronounced under bright natural light and the brown takes over in dim conditions. It functions as a strong warm accent rather than a background color.

Benjamin Moore Potters Clay and Terra Mauve sit in a close tonal family. New Hope Gray and Coventry Gray offer cool contrast, and White Dove works as a warm-white trim companion to temper the saturation.
