Benjamin Moore

Tawny Rose

2173-20

Tawny Rose (2163-20) is a warm reddish-brown from Benjamin Moore with earthy, clay-like undertones. At an LRV of 11.76, it falls into the darker range of the spectrum, reflecting little light and producing a dense, grounded appearance. The red undertone is subdued rather than bright, placing this color closer to terracotta than to a true red.

It pairs effectively with Spice Gold, Golden Straw, Hale Navy, White Dove, and Simply White from the Benjamin Moore catalog, where warm neutrals and deep contrasts help define its earthy character.
