Salamander

Benjamin Moore Salamander (2050-10) carries the measured structure of its color data and the less predictable beauty of paint in a finished space. Its cool classification gives it a crisper edge that may become clearer beside warm timber, cream or brass. The manufacturer's description below offers one reading; the room imagery leaves space for your own.
