About Dried Mustard
Dried Mustard (2158-10) is a deep, bold orange from Benjamin Moore that leans peach. With an LRV of 26, Dried Mustard 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 Dried Mustard's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for living rooms, bedrooms and accent walls. Next to Amber (168), it's darker and cooler.
How Dried Mustard changes with the light
Dried Mustard has a strong warm undertone that balances cool north light well. In strong south or west sun it can look more golden, so check a sample at midday and in the late afternoon.

West-facing rooms
