Benjamin Moore

Spicy Mustard

2154-20

Spicy Mustard is a deep golden amber with strong yellow undertones and a slightly burnished, ochre-driven warmth. With an LRV of 32.58, it reads as a solid mid-tone that holds its saturation without becoming overly dark. Under natural daylight the yellow base is most apparent, while warm artificial light pushes it toward deeper amber.

Hale Navy and Aegean Teal offer high-contrast complementary pairings, while Georgia Clay and Antique Jade build an analogous warm-to-green palette. White Dove keeps the surrounding trim clean and neutral.
