Benjamin Moore

Warm Sienna

1203 / CC-126

Warm Sienna is a muted red from Benjamin Moore with earthy orange and brown undertones that temper its intensity and produce a subdued, complex tone. At a Light Reflectance Value of 16.81, it falls in the darker range, absorbing a substantial amount of light and creating a grounded effect on interior surfaces. The orange-brown influence keeps the red from appearing bright or aggressive, instead reading as weathered and layered.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore's White Dove and Revere Pewter for balanced contrast, while Appalachian Brown and Autumn Cover provide analogous depth and continuity.

Warm Sienna 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.
