2165-30

This depth makes it suitable for accent walls, dining rooms, or dens where a warmer, more contained atmosphere is preferred. It coordinates with Benjamin Moore Hale Navy for strong contrast, Hunter Green for a complementary pairing, White Dove for trim, Weston Flax for lighter adjacent walls, and Muslin for a neutral transition in open areas.
