Benjamin Moore

English Brown

2100-30

English Brown is a muted, deep brown with noticeable red undertones, registering an LRV of 12.94. At this low reflectance level, it absorbs most ambient light and produces a dark, grounding effect on walls. It is appropriate for libraries, home offices, and accent applications where a warm brown is needed.

The red undertone distinguishes it from cooler browns and gives it a slightly warmer cast. For coordinated schemes, pair it with Benjamin Moore White Dove, Ballet White, Hale Navy, Essex Green, or Autumn Cover.
