Benjamin Moore

Cattail

CSP-295

Cattail is a red-brown with orange undertones and a muted, earthy cast. With an LRV of 15.9, it reads dark and absorbs light on full walls. It can be used in dining rooms, libraries, or entry accents where a warm brown-red is needed.

Combine it with Benjamin Moore Warm Sienna or Adobe Beige to keep the palette warm. White Dove or Chantilly Lace lighten trim, and Hale Navy or Salamander add cool contrast.
