Benjamin Moore

Tandoori

CSP-1105

Tandoori (Benjamin Moore) is a deep, saturated orange-brown with a strong red-orange bias and an LRV of 15.63, which makes it a low-reflectance, high-chroma color. The hue sits between burnt orange and rust, with enough red content to warm noticeably under incandescent light. It can be coordinated with Benjamin Moore Hale Navy for direct warm-cool contrast, or with muted yellow-based neutrals like Mustard Olive for an analogous transition.

Crisp whites such as Simply White or Chantilly Lace provide maximum value contrast, and a mid-tone terracotta like Potters Clay keeps the palette within a related earth-tone family.
