Benjamin Moore

Rusty Nail

CC-390 / 105

Rusty Nail sits in the burnt sienna family with clear orange-brown undertones and an LRV of 15.67, making it a low-reflectance color that reads rich and warm in most lighting conditions. It will shift slightly more orange under incandescent light and appear more muted under daylight-balanced sources. The color holds enough saturation to function as a feature wall tone without overwhelming adjacent neutrals.

Consider pairing it with Benjamin Moore Lenox Tan for warmth continuity, Hale Navy for cool contrast, White Dove for clean trim, Essex Green for complementary depth, and Richmond Gold for tonal harmony.

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.
