Benjamin Moore

Brownstone

CSP-240

Brownstone is a deep coffee brown with a neutral undertone. Its LRV of 8.03 places it in the very dark range, so it reads nearly black in low light. It works in studies, libraries, or accent walls where a strong brown is needed.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore Smoky Taupe and Pashmina for a related brown range, and with Gray Owl or Revere Pewter for cooler balance; White Dove or Simply White can brighten trim.
