Benjamin Moore

Raisin

1237 / CC-482

Raisin from Benjamin Moore is a deep, warm brown with underlying chocolate and orange undertones that give it a distinctly earthy character. At an LRV of 11.77, it absorbs most ambient light, producing a rich, dense appearance on walls. This makes it a practical option for dens, living rooms, and spaces intended to feel enclosed and warm.

The orange-brown base reads as natural and grounded rather than cool. It coordinates with Benjamin Moore Golden Straw and Buttered Yam to emphasize its warm side, while Blue Note and Coventry Gray offer cooler contrast. Rustic Taupe lightens the scheme without losing warmth.
