Benjamin Moore

Tavern Ochre

CW-375

Tavern Ochre (BM) is a deep, warm yellow with ochre and golden-brown undertones, registering an LRV of 45.61, which positions it at the middle of the reflectance scale. It reads as a saturated mustard-gold rather than a bright primary yellow, and it will warm the overall color temperature of a room significantly. The ochre base keeps it from appearing overly synthetic under natural light.

It coordinates with Benjamin Moore's Hale Navy, Hunter Green, Pale Avocado, Autumn Cover, and White Dove for both contrast-driven and tonal arrangements.
