Benjamin Moore

Old Country

OC-76 / 1157

Old Claret by Benjamin Moore is a deep, ashen raspberry with muted red undertones and an LRV of 14.21, making it a low-reflectance color that absorbs most ambient light. This positions it as a strong accent or full-room color for dining rooms, libraries, or reading areas where a darkened atmosphere is the goal. The ashen quality desaturates the red-pink base, preventing it from reading as a bright berry and instead producing a dusty, aged character.

It works alongside Benjamin Moore's White Dove and Nimbus Gray for lightness contrast, while Lenox Tan and Chestertown Buff provide warm neutral transitions.
