Benjamin Moore

Creekbed

1006 / AC-39

Creekbed is an earthy mid-tone that sits between brown and taupe, with warm, slightly gray undertones that keep it grounded. Its LRV of 33.34 places it in the medium-depth range, absorbing a fair amount of light while still reading as a neutral rather than a dark shade. The color has enough complexity to complement natural materials like wood and stone without competing with them.

It works well alongside Benjamin Moore's Edgecomb Gray, Revere Pewter, Kendall Charcoal, Hale Navy, and Wind's Breath.
