Benjamin Moore

Barrel Brown

2098-10

Barrel Brown is a deep brown with mahogany undertones that add warmth. Its LRV of 8.65 indicates very low reflectance, so it reads near-black on walls. Warm light emphasizes the mahogany note.

It is suitable for libraries, dining rooms, or cabinetry where a dark brown is required, and it can also be used on trim details. Pair it with White Dove and Edgecomb Gray for light balance, and add Hale Navy or Black Forest Green for contrast.
