Frontenac Brick

CC-182 / 1208

Frontenac Brick is a muted blend of brown, orange, and rose undertones, creating an earthy terracotta character. With an LRV of 29.43, it absorbs significant light and works best in well-lit rooms or as an accent. Living rooms and dining rooms benefit from its warm depth.

This color coordinates with Benjamin Moore Creamy White and Gentle Cream for lighter balance, Hale Navy or Black Forest Green for strong contrast, and Terra Mauve or Clay Beige for analogous earth-toned combinations.
