Benjamin Moore

Toasted Pecan

1209

Toasted Pecan (Benjamin Moore) is an earthy mid-tone orange-brown with clay undertones, carrying an LRV of 19.87. The orange content is muted enough that it reads as a warm terracotta rather than a bright orange, grounded by its brown base. It pairs with White Sand for a warm off-white contrast, Guilford Green for a muted complementary balance, Hale Navy for deep cool-toned contrast, Bittersweet Chocolate for a darker tonal companion, and Weston Flax as a lighter analogous warm yellow that maintains palette cohesion.
