About Adobe Dust
Adobe Dust (2175-40) is a deep, medium-strength beige from Benjamin Moore that leans peach. With an LRV of 34, Adobe Dust absorbs more light than it reflects, so it works best in rooms with good natural light or where you want a cozier feel.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Adobe Dust's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for bedrooms, offices, accent walls and kitchen cabinets. It's very close to Pumpkin Patch (055); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
