Benjamin Moore

Northwood Brown

1000

Northwood Brown by Benjamin Moore is a balanced warm brown with noticeable gray undertones that temper its organic warmth into a grounded neutral. It registers an LRV of 13.41, placing it in the darker range and making it suited for studies, entryways, or living rooms where a sense of depth is needed. The gray cast prevents it from reading overly rustic, allowing it to work across traditional and modern farmhouse settings.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore White Dove, Edgecomb Gray, Revere Pewter, Hale Navy, and Simply White, each of which can either lighten the palette or add contrasting weight.
