Benjamin Moore

Buckhorn

987 / CC-510

Buckhorn is a deep brown with a subtle gray undertone. Its LRV of 18.29 places it in the dark range, so it reads grounded on walls. It works in libraries, offices, or accent walls where a neutral brown is needed.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Simply White for lighter contrast, and with Hale Navy or Hunter Green for depth; Lenox Tan or Alexandria Beige can warm the palette.

Buckhorn in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
