Benjamin Moore

Santa Fe Pottery

1287

Santa Fe Pottery is an earthen red with muted brown undertones that ground its warmth and reduce the visual intensity typical of brighter reds. At an LRV of 18.16, it sits on the darker end of the spectrum and will deepen considerably in low-light rooms. Under warm incandescent lighting, the brown undertone becomes more prominent, while daylight reveals more of its red character.

It pairs well with lighter neutrals like Balboa Mist and Pale Almond to prevent a space from feeling too enclosed. Smokey Taupe works as a coordinating wall tone, while Midnight Blue offers strong contrast.

Santa Fe Pottery in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
