Benjamin Moore

Rawhide

CC-302 / 1124

Rawhide is a mid-depth brown with a clear amber undertone, registering an LRV of 33.76. The amber shifts the brown away from cool gray-brown territory into a distinctly warm, leather-toned range that holds its warmth under most lighting conditions. At this reflectance value, the color reads as a definite brown rather than a dark neutral, with enough depth to ground a space.

It pairs cleanly with White Dove and Classic Gray for contrast, while Hale Navy or Hunter Green provide complementary depth. Wind's Breath offers a lighter neutral bridge within the same warm family.

Rawhide 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
