Benjamin Moore

Cinnamon

2174-20

Cinnamon is a rich brown with red and orange undertones. An LRV of 12.93 keeps it in the deep range and it will read darker in low light. It works on accent walls, dining rooms, or built-ins where a warm brown is required.

Natural Linen and White Dove provide lighter balance for trim and adjacent walls. Forest Green and Hale Navy add contrast while staying in a saturated palette.
