Benjamin Moore

Toasted Almond

1098

Toasted Almond from Benjamin Moore is a warm brown with a prominent golden cast that gives it a rich, caramel-like quality. At an LRV of 31.79, it sits in the medium-dark range and reads as a substantial wall color that absorbs more light than it reflects. The golden undertone keeps it from reading as a flat or muddy brown, pushing it instead toward a warm amber-tan direction.

It pairs with White Dove, Swiss Coffee, Hale Navy, Forest Green, and soft terracotta tones for grounded, layered combinations.

Toasted Almond in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
