Benjamin Moore

Hickory Stick

2103-40

Hickory Stick is a warm brown with red undertones, registering an LRV of 21.3. This low-to-medium reflectance creates a color with noticeable depth. The red undertone gives it warmth and distinguishes it from cooler brown tones.

Benjamin Moore's White Dove and Mascarpone provide lighter contrast for trim and ceilings. Hale Navy and Black Forest Green work as complementary dark accents. Shaker Beige and Pashmina extend the palette into coordinating neutral territory. This color suits studies, dining rooms, and accent walls where an earthy, grounded tone is appropriate.
