Benjamin Moore

Peanut Butter

2159-20

Benjamin Moore Peanut Butter is a rich amber with pronounced toasty brown undertones and an LRV of 31.49, situating it in the lower-middle range of light reflectance. The warm, golden-brown character leans decidedly toward earth tones rather than bright yellows. It functions well in living rooms, dining rooms, and studies where a warm, grounded wall color is appropriate.

Benjamin Moore Soft Pumpkin and Copper Kettle reinforce its amber quality in an analogous scheme, while White Dove or Edgecomb Gray provides lighter balance on trim. Hale Navy or Hunter Green offers effective contrast for accents.
