Sherwin Williams

Curio Gray

SW 0024

Yellow Squash by Benjamin Moore, hex #E3C9AA, is a muted, warm neutral with pink and orange undertones that shift it away from a pure yellow toward a soft peachy-beige range. Its LRV of 60.24 places it in the upper-middle reflectance band, allowing it to lighten a room while retaining noticeable body and color presence. The blush-touched warmth in this shade distinguishes it from standard buff tones.

It works cohesively with White Linen and Cedar Key for tonal warmth, Willow Creek for a cooled green contrast, and Pale Moon to maintain its soft, analogous range.
