Benjamin Moore

Soft Marigold

160

Soft Marigold is a yellow-orange with noticeable bronze undertones that push it toward a warm, autumnal register rather than a bright citrus tone. At an LRV of 53.24, it reflects a moderate amount of light and reads as a distinct mid-tone on walls. The bronze influence adds depth and prevents it from appearing overly saturated.

It sits well with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Ballet White as lighter balancing tones. Hale Navy or Iron Mountain provide strong dark contrast, while Guilford Green and Fernwood Green offer complementary earthy green pairings within the same line.
