Benjamin Moore

Spice Market

CSP-925

Spice Market is a saturated warm yellow with a distinctly golden, ochre-like quality rather than a bright lemon tone. With an LRV of 35.93, it occupies the lower-mid reflectance range and carries noticeable weight on walls. Its warmth intensifies under incandescent lighting and can lean slightly green in certain cool-light environments.

Weimaraner and Gloucester Sage ground it with earthy, muted companions. Hale Navy introduces strong complementary contrast, while Golden Straw and Rich Cream extend its warm yellow family without competing for attention.

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.
