Brown Horse

2108-30

Brown Horse is a deep neutral brown with warm undertones. Its LRV of 12.02 makes it a dark value that reads strong on walls. It works in living rooms, libraries, or offices where a grounded brown is required.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Revere Pewter for light contrast, and with Hale Navy or Salamander for deeper contrast; Wind's Breath or Pale Oak can keep the palette lighter.
