Benjamin Moore

Desert Twilight

2137-40

Desert Twilight is a mid-tone color with olive, gray, and brown undertones, registering an LRV of 26.6. This low reflectance makes it suitable for accent walls or spaces where a darker, grounded tone is needed. The olive-gray base reads as a muted earth tone that recedes rather than advances visually.

It works well alongside Benjamin Moore's Iron Mountain, Kendall Charcoal, Revere Pewter, and Balboa Mist to build a layered neutral scheme. This color is functional in rustic, contemporary, or eclectic interior applications.
