Benjamin Moore

Warm Apple Crisp

1091

Warm Apple Crisp is a saturated orange from Benjamin Moore with pronounced brown undertones that shift it toward a deep, earthy register. Its Light Reflectance Value of 25.52 classifies it as a darker mid-tone, absorbing a significant amount of light and producing a grounded presence on walls. The orange-brown composition reads as warm and dense without veering into pure red territory.

Compatible Benjamin Moore colors include Rustic Taupe, Clay Beige, and Shaker Beige for analogous warmth, while Hale Navy and White Dove supply effective contrast and tonal balance.

Warm Apple Crisp 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.
