Benjamin Moore

Pony Brown

2163-20

Pony Brown from Benjamin Moore is a dark orange-brown with warm, reddish-amber undertones and an LRV of 14.99, placing it in the low-reflectance range. The color reads as a dense, earthy mid-dark tone reminiscent of natural leather and raw clay. It functions well in libraries, studies, and as an accent wall in living rooms, particularly within traditional or rustic design frameworks.

Grant Beige and Shaker Beige provide balanced lighter companions, Hale Navy offers a strong cool-toned contrast that draws out the orange undertone, Saybrook Sage adds a muted green complement, and White Dove handles trim duties.
