Tofino Sunset

Benjamin Moore · CC-156

The Analysis

Tofino Sunset is a mid-tone terracotta-peach that acts as a warm neutral. With an LRV of 56.2, it reflects enough light to keep a space feeling open without being washed out, making it feel cozy rather than oversized.

It functions best as a warm, enveloping wall colour for living areas or bedrooms. Because it sits in the mid-tone range, it is bold enough to be a feature wall but subtle enough to be used throughout a whole room without overwhelming the eye.

History & Origin

This shade leans into contemporary organic design rather than a specific historical era. It updates the classic warm-toned palettes of the 1970s with a cleaner, more muted finish suitable for modern, casual living.

How to Use It

Pair this with light white oak wood tones and matte black hardware to keep it looking sharp and modern. It performs best in rooms where you want to create a sense of comfort, such as a breakfast nook, den, or guest bedroom.

The Mood

This colour is inherently energizing and warm, perfect for spaces where you want to feel active and social. It avoids the clinical sterility of pure white, providing a grounded, welcoming feel that keeps a room from feeling too cold or empty.

Colour harmonies

Complementary

Opposite on the colour wheel — bold, high-contrast pairings. Use for a feature wall or furniture you want to command attention.

Analogous

Neighbouring hues — cohesive and calm, great for layered schemes that feel collected rather than matched.

Split complementary

Near-opposites for strong contrast with a little less tension than a pure complement. A favourite of interior designers.

Triadic

Three evenly spaced hues — balanced, vibrant, and versatile. Keep one dominant and use the others sparingly.

Tetradic (square)

Four hues in a square on the wheel — rich, dynamic palettes. Best when one colour leads and the others accent.

Monochromatic

Dark, mid, and light steps on the same hue — a failsafe gradient for trim, walls, and accents without shifting colour family.
