Benjamin Moore

Spoonful of Sugar

Spoonful of Sugar is a medium-dark caramel shade with an LRV of 20.98, meaning it absorbs a significant amount of light and reads as a substantial, weighty color on walls. Its undertone structure is layered, combining brown, orange, and pink, which makes it shift noticeably depending on lighting conditions — more pink in cool daylight, more orange under incandescent bulbs. White Dove and Chantilly Lace are effective high-contrast companions for trim and ceilings, Hale Navy provides a deep complementary pairing, and First Light echoes the pink undertone at a much lighter value.
