Benjamin Moore

Pine Cone

2106-30

Pine Cone Brown is a very dark brown with a slight purple undertone that can show up as the finish level increases. Its LRV of 7.56 indicates high light absorption, so it will appear nearly black in low light. It’s typically used for accents, built-ins, or smaller rooms where a deep tone is intentional.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore White Dove or Manchester Tan to maintain a readable contrast. For cooler counterpoints, Hale Navy or Coventry Gray works well, and Shadow can reinforce the subtle purple cast.
