Benjamin Moore

Brown

2099-10

Brown is a deep warm brown with red undertones. The LRV of 9.09 places it in the very dark range, so it reads dense on walls. It is suited to libraries, dens, or accent walls where a traditional brown is needed.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore Lenox Tan and Alexandria Beige for warm coordination, and with Silver Satin or Gray Owl for cooler contrast; Georgian Green can add a muted green note.

Brown in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
