Benjamin Moore

Dark Nut Brown

2098-30

Dark Nut Brown is a deeper brown with a slightly cool, muted cast and an LRV of 12.32. Its low reflectance produces a dense, grounded appearance that works well in libraries, dining rooms, or spaces where visual weight is desired. The cool undertone prevents it from reading as overly warm, distinguishing it from typical chocolate browns.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore's Gray Owl and Revere Pewter, which echo its muted quality. Hale Navy offers contrast, while Windham Cream and Creamy White provide lighter balance in a cohesive scheme.
