Benjamin Moore

Broken Arrow

1026

Broken Arrow is a warm mid-tone that sits between beige and brown with earthy undertones. The LRV of 37.28 gives it medium depth and a steady read on walls. It works in living rooms, dining rooms, or hallways where a grounded neutral is needed.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore Swiss Coffee and White Dove for lighter balance, and with Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy for contrast; Kingsport Gray or Grant Beige can extend the neutral range.
