Benjamin Moore

Etruscan

AF-355

Etruscan is a golden caramel with pronounced orange and brown undertones that give it a warm, earthy presence. At an LRV of 26.1, it falls in the medium-dark range and will absorb a significant amount of light, so adequate lighting is recommended. The orange lean distinguishes it from flat browns and adds visible warmth to walls and trim.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore Manchester Tan and Muslin for a warm neutral grouping. Kendall Charcoal or Blue Note offer cooler contrast, and Golden Straw extends the warm tonal range.
