Benjamin Moore

Cork

2153-40

Cork is a golden tan with subtle yellow undertones that give it an earthy, organic warmth. With an LRV of 44.58, it sits in the mid-range for light reflectance, reading as a definite color rather than a neutral. It carries enough depth to anchor a wall without darkening a room significantly.

Living rooms and dining areas benefit from its warm saturation, especially under natural light. White Dove or Natural Cream work as lighter companions for trim and ceilings, while Hale Navy or Forest Green provide grounded contrast.
