Benjamin Moore

Caponata

AF-650

Caponata is a deep brown with purple undertones. Its LRV of 6.36 makes it very dark and low-reflectance. It is best for accent walls, libraries, or dining rooms where a dark neutral is needed.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Simply White or Balboa Mist for contrast. Wild Aster or Forest Floor can be used as related accent colors. In mixed lighting, the undertone remains visible and the color does not wash out.
