Benjamin Moore

Sienna Clay

104

Sienna Clay sits squarely in the terracotta family, blending orange and brown in near-equal measure at hex #BD7750. Its LRV of 24.26 places it in the lower-medium range, meaning it absorbs more light than it reflects and reads as a grounded, earthy mid-tone. The orange undertone is warm but not aggressive, lending the color a muted quality rather than a bright one.

It pairs naturally with Benjamin Moore's White Sand for a lighter contrast, Lenox Tan for warmth, Hale Navy for complementary depth, Fernwood Green for an earthy scheme, and Concord Ivory as a soft companion.

Sienna Clay 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.

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.
