Benjamin Moore

Driftwood

2107-40

Driftwood is a medium neutral composed of brown, taupe, and gray undertones. With an LRV of 25.29, it sits in the lower-medium reflectance range and will read as a definite color rather than a light neutral on walls. The taupe component adds a cool-warm balance, while the brown provides depth.

It is best used in spaces where a substantial wall color is desired without going fully dark. Coordinate it with Benjamin Moore Classic Gray, White Dove, Hale Navy, Revere Pewter, and Grant Beige.
