Benjamin Moore

Briarwood

HC-175 / PM-32

Briarwood is a neutral blend of gray and brown undertones. The LRV of 31.8 gives it mid depth and a grounded appearance on walls. It can be used in living rooms, bedrooms, or offices where a warm taupe is desired.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore Edgecomb Gray and Balboa Mist for lighter coordination, and with Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy for contrast; Saybrook Sage can add a muted green note.
