Benjamin Moore

Aura

169

Aura is a light beige with a yellow-orange undertone that produces a warm low-saturation appearance on walls. Its LRV of 77.46 places it firmly in the high-reflectance range making it effective for brightening rooms with limited natural light. The color holds enough warmth to avoid reading as stark or clinical yet it remains neutral enough for broad application.

It coordinates naturally with White Dove and Balboa Mist as lighter companions while Kendall Charcoal and Hale Navy provide useful contrast and Windham Cream offers tonal range.
