About Rodeo
Rodeo (1534) is a light warm gray (greige) from Benjamin Moore with a warm yellow undertone. With an LRV of 61, Rodeo has visible color without darkening a room much.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Rodeo's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for open-plan living areas, hallways, living rooms and bedrooms. It's very close to Sea Salt (CSP-95); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
