Allspice 2101-50
On-screen approximation from the published RGB value. Order a physical sample before you decide.
Undertone: Noticeable red undertone
In CIELAB, Allspice sits at L* 72.0, a* 9.8, b* 7.7. Its hue angle is 38° and its chroma is 12.4, so it leans red clearly enough to notice on a full wall. It classifies as warm. Among Benjamin Moore colors with a similar LRV (±5), it is warmer (more yellow) than 40%.
LRV 43.3: mid-tone
Light Reflectance Value runs from 0 (absolute black) to 100 (perfect white). At 43.3, Allspice is lighter than 47% of Benjamin Moore colors. Reads clearly as a color. Best in rooms with good natural light, or as an accent wall; small dark rooms may feel smaller.
Closest Sherwin-Williams match to Allspice
Ranked by CIEDE2000 color difference (ΔE) computed from published RGB values. Below 2 is hard to tell apart on the wall; above 4 is a different color.
