Brazen

259

Brazen is a deep mossy brown with warm earthy undertones. Its LRV of 22.47 places it in the dark mid range, so it reads substantial on walls. It can be used in studies, libraries, or dining rooms where a brown with green notes is appropriate.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Simply White for lighter contrast, and with Hawthorne Yellow or Saybrook Sage for a related warm palette.
