Benjamin Moore

Yellow Oxide

2154-10

Yellow Oxide (2154-10) by Benjamin Moore is a dark, earthy yellow-gold with an LRV of 30.23, indicating limited light reflectance and a decidedly mid-tone to deep appearance. The hex #C58E38 reveals dominant amber-brown undertones with orange and ochre characteristics, aligning it more with raw sienna territory than standard yellow. It carries no cool undertones.

Within Benjamin Moore, it pairs with White Dove and Edgecomb Gray for lighter contrast, Hale Navy and Black Forest Green for dark complementary schemes, and Guilford Green as an earthy coordinating tone.
