Benjamin Moore

Gingersnaps

1063

Gingersnaps is a warm, mid-tone neutral with noticeable cinnamon and orange undertones. Its LRV of 26.22 positions it as a deeper shade that absorbs more light, lending a grounded presence to spaces such as dens, studies, or accent walls. This color pairs effectively with Benjamin Moore's White Sand and Shaker Beige for neutral coordination, while Newburg Green and Hale Navy offer stronger contrast.

Powell Buff provides a softer, analogous option that complements its warm character.
