Benjamin Moore

Coppertone

2161-10

Coppertone is a deep, warm brown with strong orange undertones that give it a distinctly burnished, copper-like quality. With an LRV of 17.36, it absorbs significant light and reads as a dark, rich tone on walls. It works well in studies, dining rooms, or living rooms where a warm, enclosed atmosphere is appropriate.

Pairing it with lighter neutrals like Benjamin Moore White Dove or Pale Oak helps offset its depth. For tonal warmth, Soft Pumpkin or Rustic Brick reinforce its earthy direction, while Hale Navy provides a strong cool contrast.

Coppertone in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
