Benjamin Moore

Maryville Brown

HC-75

Maryville Brown reads as a mid-tone clay brown with distinct orange undertones, reflected in its hex value of #9D7756. At an LRV of 21.58, it absorbs a fair amount of light and works best in well-lit rooms or as an accent. The orange warmth prevents it from falling flat the way cooler browns sometimes can.

It combines naturally with White Dove or Soft Chamois on trim, while Hale Navy or Wrought Iron supply effective contrast. Terracotta Tile reinforces its earthy direction without redundancy.
