Benjamin Moore

Mink

2112-10

Benjamin Moore Mink (2112-10) is a dark brown with an LRV of 7.33, making it one of the lowest-reflectance colors in residential use. Its undertones include violet and gray, which keep it from reading as a straightforward warm brown. Under cool light the violet cast becomes more visible, while warm light emphasizes the brown base.

It coordinates with the lighter Branchport Brown (HC-72), the mid-range warmth of Wood Grain Brown (2109-30), the complementary blue of Van Courtland Blue (HC-145), and the contrasting depth of Aegean Teal (2136-40).
