Benjamin Moore

Bracken Biscuit

CW-120

Bracken Biscuit is a warm neutral with a toasted beige undertone. Its LRV of 54.41 places it in the light-to-mid range, so it keeps warmth without turning heavy. It can be used in living rooms, dining rooms, or offices where a historic beige is appropriate.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore Manchester Tan and Balboa Mist for adjacent neutrals, and with Kendall Charcoal or Salamander for contrast; Palladian Blue or Wickham Gray can cool the palette.
