Bucktrout Brown

CW-180

Bucktrout Brown is a blackened brown with a neutral undertone. Its LRV of 4.78 indicates very low reflectance, so it reads near-black on trim or doors. It is often used on baseboards, doors, and built-ins where a dark neutral is needed.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore Simply White and Edgecomb Gray for light contrast, and with Hale Navy or Hunter Green for depth; Van Courtland Blue or Palladian Blue can add a softer adjacent color.
