Benjamin Moore

Bison Brown

2113-30

Bison Brown is a deep brown with subtle purple undertones. An LRV of 9.18 makes it very dark and dense on walls. It suits libraries, dining rooms, or accent walls where a low-reflectance brown is needed.

Simply White and Balboa Mist provide light contrast, while Thundercloud Gray keeps a muted neutral range. Deep Caviar or Cushing Green add darker companions.
