Benjamin Moore

North Creek Brown

1001 / CC-512

North Creek Brown is a deep blackish brown from Benjamin Moore with neutral-to-warm earthy undertones reminiscent of rich soil. It registers an LRV of 10.23, meaning it absorbs most light and reads as a heavy, grounding shade on walls. This density makes it functional as an accent wall color in living rooms or libraries where visual weight and contrast are needed.

It pairs well with Kendall Charcoal and Wrought Iron for a tonal scheme, while Cloud White or Intense White provide strong lightness contrast. Fairmont Green complements its earthy character without competing for attention.
