Benjamin Moore

Peatmoss

2103-30

Peatmoss by Benjamin Moore is a deep reddish-brown with an LRV of 10.75, meaning it absorbs a substantial amount of light and reads as a dark, saturated tone on the wall. Its red and brown undertones produce a warm, earthy appearance that is most effective in rooms with ample natural or layered artificial light, such as dining rooms, studies, and libraries. Amherst Gray and Shaker Beige from Benjamin Moore offer grounded neutral pairings, while Simply White or Moonshine can be used on trim to sharpen the contrast, and Forest Floor provides a deep complementary green accent.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
