Grandfather Clock Brown

2096-30

Grandfather Clock Brown is a deep, warm brown with noticeable orange undertones that give it an earthy, grounded character. With an LRV of 12.93, this color absorbs substantial light and works best in spaces where a rich, anchored atmosphere is appropriate, such as studies, dining rooms, or libraries. Its warm base allows it to pair well with Benjamin Moore's Shaker Beige and Muslin for lighter contrast, while Hale Navy provides a complementary depth.

Dry Sage and Camouflage offer muted green options that harmonize with its earthy warmth.
