Benjamin Moore

Powell Smokehouse

CW-360

Powell Smokehouse by Benjamin Moore is a deep neutral with muted brown and gray undertones, rooted in the historical practice of mixing white and black pigments. Its LRV of 22.98 confirms its relatively low reflectance, making it suitable for rooms where a darker, grounded atmosphere is desired, such as living rooms, libraries, and dining areas. The brown-gray balance gives it warmth without shifting toward taupe.

Silver Half Dollar and Gray Owl pair well for lighter tonal contrast, while Van Deusen Blue and Kendall Charcoal add saturated depth. Wasabi introduces a muted warm accent.
