Benjamin Moore

Terra Mauve

105 / CC-390

Terra Mauve is a deep burnt sienna from Benjamin Moore with warm red-brown undertones that distinguish it from cooler mauve tones. At an LRV of 15.67, it absorbs a substantial amount of light and produces a dense, enveloping appearance on walls. The reddish-brown base holds steady across most lighting conditions, though it may lean slightly more orange in direct warm light.

It works well alongside Benjamin Moore's Spanish Red, Hale Navy, White Dove, Simply White, and Copper Kettle, serving as either a primary wall color or a deep accent within earth-toned palettes.
