Gingerbread Man

1111 / CC-274

Gingerbread Man is a mid-tone caramel brown with warm orange undertones and muted wood-like qualities. With an LRV of 39.19, this color absorbs a moderate amount of light, making it suitable for dining rooms, libraries, or living areas where a grounded warmth is desired. It works well alongside Benjamin Moore's White Dove for contrast, Muslin for tonal harmony, Hale Navy for depth, and Hawthorne Yellow or Soft Fern for analogous pairings that emphasize its earthy character.
