Benjamin Moore

Mustang

2111-30

Mustang is a deep brown with red and gray undertones that give it a leathered, earth-toned character. With an LRV of 10.79, it absorbs most available light, making it a color that reads as dark in all but the brightest conditions. The red undertone becomes more apparent in warm, direct light, while the gray component keeps it from appearing overtly warm in cooler settings.

It coordinates with Benjamin Moore's Icicle OC-60, November Rain 2142-60, White Dove OC-17, and Litchfield Gray HC-78 to balance its depth with lighter values.

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.
