Benjamin Moore

Cabot Trail

998 / CC-480, AC-33

Cabot Trail is a warm neutral with subtle earthy undertones. Its LRV of 28.1 places it in the dark mid-tone range. It works in living rooms, bedrooms, or dining areas where a grounded neutral is needed.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Edgecomb Gray or Revere Pewter for adjacent tones. Hale Navy, Hunter Green, or Cloud White can be used for contrast and trim. In warmer light, the undertone stays present and the color can deepen slightly.
