Benjamin Moore

Espresso

2099-30

Espresso is a deep brown with noticeable red undertones that add warmth and visual weight. It has an LRV of 12.6, placing it in the low-reflectance range suitable for accent walls or grounding elements in a room. The red undertones distinguish it from cooler browns and give it a slightly saturated appearance.

It works well in studies, living rooms, or spaces that benefit from a darker anchor color. For coordination, consider Benjamin Moore Soft Chamois, Pale Oak, Hale Navy, or Hunter Green.
