Benjamin Moore

Boston Brick

2092-30

Boston Brick is a deep brick red with earthy brown undertones. Its LRV of 11.54 indicates low reflectance, so it reads dark and solid on full walls. It can be used in dining rooms, entryways, or fireplaces where a historic red is appropriate.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter and Edgecomb Gray for neutral balance, and with Forest Green or Hale Navy for contrast; Manchester Tan or Hawthorne Yellow can keep the palette warm.
