Benjamin Moore

Brown Teepee

2102-40

Brown Teepee is a mid-tone brown with a rosy undertone. The LRV of 25.28 gives it medium depth, so it reads warm without becoming dark. It works in living rooms, dining rooms, or bedrooms where a brown with red notes is needed.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Simply White for light contrast, and with Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy for depth; Warm Sienna or Autumn Leaf can keep the palette in warm tones.
