Benjamin Moore

Morrel

AF-125

Morrel (AF-125) is a mushroom-toned neutral from Benjamin Moore's Affinity Collection, with an LRV of 32.28 that places it in the medium range. Rosy undertones give it warmth and prevent it from reading as a flat tan or gray -- in strong natural light it appears more golden, while in dimmer conditions it deepens toward a richer brown. It coordinates naturally with Secret (AF-710) and Harmony (AF-90) for an earth-toned scheme, or with Midnight Blue (1638) for contrast.

Alpine White (2147-70) provides a clean, neutral trim pairing.

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.
