Benjamin Moore

Plymouth Brown

HC-73 / 1127

Plymouth Brown by Benjamin Moore is a warm clay tone with a distinct orange undertone and an LRV of 13.98. Its low reflectance means it reads as a medium-dark shade that adds visual weight to walls, making it functional in living rooms, libraries, and dining areas. The orange cast becomes more apparent in direct natural light, separating it from cooler browns.

It pairs well with Simply White and Revere Pewter for lighter contrast, while Hale Navy or Forest Floor offer stronger counterpoints. Spanish Red and Monroe Bisque maintain a cohesive warm scheme.
