Benjamin Moore

Brown Tar

2110-20

Brown Tar is a deep brown with warm chocolate undertones. Its LRV of 10.59 places it in the dark range, so it reads dense on walls. It suits accent walls, studies, or dining rooms where a strong brown is needed.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Muslin for warm contrast, and with Hale Navy or Essex Green for depth; Rust or Golden Straw can add a warm accent.
