Benjamin Moore

Natural Brown

2103-10

Natural Brown (2103-10) is a deep, warm brown from Benjamin Moore's Color Preview collection, with an LRV of 7.6 that places it among the darkest paint options available. Its defining feature is a pronounced red undertone that shifts it away from a neutral or cool espresso brown and toward a reddish-chestnut character. In rooms with warm lighting, the red becomes more visible, while cooler daylight can temper it slightly.

It pairs well with Simply White (OC-117) and Ice Mist (OC-67) for high-contrast brightening, Peach Parfait (2175-70) to echo its warm red lean, and Constellation (AF-540) for a muted mid-tone companion.
