About Sycamore

Sycamore (CC-350) is a mid-tone, medium-strength beige from Benjamin Moore that leans peach. With an LRV of 58, Sycamore has visible color without darkening a room much.

In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Sycamore'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. Next to Terrabella (AF-195), it's lighter.

S

South-facing rooms

In strong south light Sycamore can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.

W

West-facing rooms

Sycamore will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
