Benjamin Moore

Yellow Squash

2161-50

Yellow Squash (2155-50) by Benjamin Moore is a warm, low-chroma tone with an LRV of 60.24. The hex #E3C9AA reveals it as closer to a peach-beige or warm tan than a conventional yellow, carrying distinct pink and orange undertones beneath its surface warmth. It functions as a tinted neutral rather than a saturated color.

Effective Benjamin Moore pairings include White Linen and Cedar Key for warm neutral layering, Willow Creek and Vintage Wine for tonal depth, and Pale Moon as a lighter analogous complement.
