Benjamin Moore

Forest Brown

2105-10

Forest Brown is a deep brown with red undertones that give it warmth and complexity. With an LRV of 8.94, it absorbs most light and creates a grounded, substantial presence on walls. The red influence becomes more visible in natural light and adds dimension to the brown base.

This shade works in dining rooms, libraries, or accent applications where a rich, warm tone is appropriate. It pairs with Benjamin Moore White Dove, Manchester Tan, Hale Navy, and softer accents like Potpourri or Terra Cotta tones.
