Benjamin Moore

Sienna

2092-20

Sienna is a low-LRV red-brown at 9.96, built on a base of burnt umber with a distinct orange undertone that keeps it from reading purely dark brown. The hex #804638 confirms its warm bias, and in practice it absorbs significant ambient light, producing a dense, saturated appearance on walls. It performs best in rooms with ample natural light to prevent it from feeling heavy.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore's Chantilly Lace for sharp contrast, Golden Straw for warmth continuity, Newburyport Blue for a complementary counterpoint, Chestertown Buff for tonal harmony, and Terra Cotta Tile for an analogous grouping.

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.
