Benjamin Moore

Gaucho Brown

2096-40

Gaucho Brown is a warm, deep tan with rosy brown undertones and an LRV of 27.12, placing it in the medium-depth range. The rose influence adds warmth without making the color read pink, resulting in a rich earth tone. This shade suits living rooms, dining areas, or bedrooms in traditional or rustic settings.

Benjamin Moore's White Dove creates contrast for trim, while Smoky Ash provides an analogous neutral option. Revere Pewter and Edgecomb Gray work as lighter wall companions to balance the depth of this tone.
