Benjamin Moore

Salsa

2009-20

Salsa is a high-chroma orange-red with warm undertones that give it a distinctly fiery read on the wall. Its LRV of 19.02 means it absorbs most incident light, functioning best as an accent or in well-lit rooms where its saturation can register fully. The orange bias keeps it from reading as a pure red, adding warmth to the hue's overall balance.

Benjamin Moore White Dove and Chantilly Lace create sharp value contrast for trim. Hale Navy and Kensington Blue serve as cool complements, and Golden Honey bridges toward a warm analogous scheme.
