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.

Raisin in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
