Benjamin Moore

Italianate

AF-215

Italianate is a muted peach-brown with noticeable orange undertones that place it squarely in the warm earth-tone range. Its LRV of 36.46 gives it a medium depth, dark enough to register as a distinct color on walls but not so low that it absorbs significant light. The orange base means it will shift slightly warmer under incandescent lighting and read more neutrally in north-facing daylight.

It pairs well with Benjamin Moore's Golden Straw, Soft Fern, Huntington Beige, Midnight Navy, and Charcoal Slate.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
