HC-72

Branchport Brown is a deep brown with a red-violet undertone. The violet cast is more visible next to warm whites. Its LRV of 10.02 makes it a very dark value that reads nearly black in low light.

It suits libraries, dining rooms, or built-ins where a dense brown is appropriate. It pairs with Benjamin Moore Saybrook Sage and Hampshire Taupe for muted coordination, and with Chantilly Lace or Hale Navy for contrast.
