Free Spirit

245 / HC-88

Free Spirit is a brownish neutral with warm undertones that create a grounded appearance. With an LRV of 24.43, it falls in the moderately dark range, absorbing more light than it reflects. This shade suits living rooms, dining areas, and bedrooms in both traditional and contemporary interiors.

It works well with Benjamin Moore's White Dove and Edgecomb Gray for a cohesive palette, while Hale Navy and Hunter Green provide deeper contrast. Peach Parfait and Hawthorne Yellow complement its earthy warmth.
