Benjamin Moore

Semolina

2155-40

Semolina is a warm yellow-orange with earthy, golden undertones that keep it from reading as a bright or acidic yellow. At an LRV of 56.33, it reflects a moderate amount of light and maintains a consistent warmth across most lighting conditions, though it can appear slightly more orange under incandescent sources. It functions as an accent or a full wall color in well-lit rooms.

Benjamin Moore White Dove and Manchester Tan serve as complementary neutrals. Hale Navy provides a strong cool contrast, while Spice Gold and Decatur Buff create a cohesive warm, tonal range.
