What color is Benjamin Moore 14 Carrots?

Benjamin Moore 14 Carrots CSP-1110 is a saturated, mid-depth orange with a clear earthy cast, close to the look of fired clay or sun-baked terracotta. Its #D17225 color value gives it noticeable warmth without reading neon or candy-bright. In direct daylight, 14 Carrots can appear cleaner and more energetic, while lower evening light tends to emphasize its browned, rust-like depth. It makes a strong choice for a dining room accent wall, a painted front door, or lower cabinetry where a grounded burst of color is wanted. Pair it with warm white, muted olive, deep charcoal, natural oak, leather, and matte black hardware for contrast that keeps the orange feeling intentional.
