Benjamin Moore

Glenwood Brown

1141

Glenwood Brown is a saturated brown with orange undertones that contribute warmth and earthiness. Its LRV of 15.78 places it in the darker range, absorbing significant light and creating a grounded feel appropriate for dens, living rooms, or accent applications. The orange influence keeps it from reading too cool or muddy.

This color pairs effectively with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Cream Fleece for contrast, Hale Navy and Hunter Green for complementary depth, and Chestertown Buff or Lenox Tan for tonal coordination.
