Benjamin Moore

Bryan Ochre

CW-390

Bryan Ochre is a deep brown-gold with warm earthy undertones. Its LRV of 28.79 puts it in the dark mid range, so it reads substantial on walls. It works in dining rooms, libraries, or entryways where a historic gold-brown is needed.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore Muslin and Spanish White for warm balance, and with Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal for contrast; Potters Clay can keep the palette within earth tones.
