Benjamin Moore

Appalachian Spring

2100-40

Appalachian Spring is a medium brown with a rosy taupe undertone that distinguishes it from purely warm or purely neutral browns. At an LRV of 25.12 it absorbs more light than it reflects, placing it in the mid-dark range suitable for accent walls, lower cabinetry, or contained architectural features. Under warm lighting the pink-brown shift becomes more pronounced.

White Dove and Simply White provide clean contrast for trim and ceiling applications. For a darker coordinating tone on doors or furniture, Hale Navy reads as a cool complement, and Kendall Charcoal supplies a near-neutral dark without competing with the rosy cast.
