Benjamin Moore

Chocolate Truffle

2096-20

Chocolate Truffle is a dark brown with warm orange undertones and moderate saturation. An LRV of 10.71 keeps it firmly in the deep range under most lighting. It fits libraries, dining rooms, or built-ins where a strong brown is acceptable.

White Dove or Simply White keep adjacent trim bright and clean. Hale Navy and Forest Floor give strong contrast, while Terra Cotta can tie into the warm undertone.
