Benjamin Moore

Kentucky Birch

CSP-265

Kentucky Birch (938) is a smoky, mid-depth brown with warm undertones that lean toward taupe rather than red. At an LRV of 16.74, it absorbs a substantial amount of light and functions as a grounding shade in a room's palette. The brown-gray balance shifts slightly depending on lighting—warmer light emphasizes the brown, while cooler light brings out the gray.

White Dove or Simply White provide clean contrast for trim, while Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal work as deeper companions. Saybrook Sage introduces a muted green complement.
