Long Valley Birch

1021

Long Valley Birch is a grounded, mid-depth neutral brown with a warm milk chocolate undertone that gives it richness without excess sweetness. With an LRV of 19.06, it absorbs a good deal of light and reads as a solid, earthy tone in most conditions. It coordinates naturally with White Dove, Revere Pewter, and Natural Cream for lighter counterpoints.

Hale Navy or Forest Floor offer deep contrast, and softer companions like Pale Oak or Balboa Mist help bridge the gap between dark and light surfaces.
