Benjamin Moore

New England Brown

2104-40

New England Brown by Benjamin Moore is a rosy brown with clear red undertones that give it warmth and distinguish it from cooler taupe-based browns. At an LRV of 21.49, it absorbs more light than it reflects, which makes it effective for creating a contained, lower-light atmosphere in dining rooms, libraries, and living rooms. The red influence is subtle enough to read as brown in most lighting but becomes more apparent alongside cooler tones.

Suitable Benjamin Moore companions include White Dove, Muslin, Hale Navy, Dusty Mauve, and Smokey Taupe, which balance or echo its warm character.
