Benjamin Moore's Color Preview® Palette

Benjamin Moore's Color Preview® Palette is created from 16 color families: two groups of eight colors each representing two color groupings, Simple and Complex.

The Simple Colors are the original eight we know so well: Red, Orange, Yellow, Yellow-Green, Green, Teal, Blue and Magenta.

The Complex Colors are: Red Oxide, Brown, Taupe, Gray, Black, Sage, Yellow Oxide and Camel.

Both Simple and Complex colors move along the color spectrum, allowing you to navigate through Color Preview's® color space, intuitively moving from one color family to another. It is this ease of movement, and the 16 color families that serve as "color triggers" that allows you to find "your" color and understand what colors Benjamin Moore creates with its colorants.
