Benjamin Moore

Bear Creek

1470

Bear Creek is a deep neutral with smoky brown undertones that keep it earthy. Its LRV of 16.11 indicates low reflectance, so it reads dark on walls. Warm light brings the brown note forward.

It is suitable for studies, dining rooms, or accent walls where a deep neutral is needed. Pair it with White Dove and Cloud White for light balance, and add Hale Navy or Hunter Green for contrast.
