Hope Chest

CSP-1050

Hope Chest is a deep brown with muted green and gray undertones that give it a complex, earthy character. At an LRV of 13.13, this is a darker shade that absorbs considerable light, making it appropriate for accent walls, studies, or spaces where a grounded atmosphere is desired. The green-gray cast prevents it from reading as a standard chocolate brown.

This color works effectively alongside Benjamin Moore's Muslin for a warm neutral contrast, Smokey Taupe for tonal harmony, Hale Navy for depth, Saybrook Sage to echo its green undertones, and Alexandria Beige for a softer pairing.
