Benjamin Moore

Corduroy

2153-20

Corduroy is a yellow-brown with noticeable golden undertones that give it a deep, earthy character. At an LRV of 21.51, it absorbs a significant amount of light and reads as a medium-dark shade, best used in rooms with ample natural or layered artificial lighting. It is well-suited to studies, dens, and dining rooms where a grounded atmosphere is the goal.

Benjamin Moore's White Sand lightens the scheme effectively, and Hale Navy creates a strong tonal contrast. Black Forest Green reinforces the earthy direction, while Nimbus Gray can soften the overall composition.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
