Benjamin Moore

Amazon Soil

2115-30

Amazon Soil by Benjamin Moore is a deep plum with smoky brown undertones that give it a grounded, muted appearance. With an LRV of 13.3, it absorbs most light and reads as quite dark on walls, making it better suited for accent walls, studies, or smaller rooms where a low-light atmosphere is the goal. It works well alongside Benjamin Moore White Dove or Revere Pewter to offset its depth, while Hale Navy, Hunter Green, and Soft Fern can build out a darker, layered palette.
