Benjamin Moore

Cupcake

2099-20

Cupcake is a deep, warm brown from Benjamin Moore with distinct red undertones, giving it a rich, chocolate-like character. It has an LRV of 9.84, placing it firmly in the low-reflectance range and making it well suited for accent walls or spaces where visual depth is needed. The red base keeps it from reading flat, adding warmth even in low light.

It coordinates well with White Dove for contrast, Revere Pewter for tonal balance, Hale Navy for a layered scheme, and Coral Gables or Orange Blossom for analogous warmth.
