About Rust
Rust (2175-30) is a very dark, bold orange from Benjamin Moore that leans peach. With an LRV of 19, Rust absorbs most light. It creates a dramatic, enveloping look and suits accent walls, cabinetry and well-lit rooms.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Rust'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. It's very close to Prairie Lily (CC-98); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
How Rust changes with the light
Rust 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.
North-facing rooms
Rust's warmth balances the cool north light, which is why warmer colors are the safe pick for north rooms.
East-facing rooms
Rust will look warmer and brighter in the morning and cooler and grayer by afternoon; check a sample at both times.
South-facing rooms
In strong south light Rust can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.
West-facing rooms
Rust will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
