Benjamin Moore

Reid Brown

CW-260

Reid Brown is a deep, historically rooted brown with an LRV of 9.77, placing it in the low-reflectance range where it absorbs most available light. Red undertones are clearly present in its base, giving it warmth that distinguishes it from cooler espresso tones. Multiple coats may be required for full opacity on lighter substrates.

Pairing with Chantilly Lace or Simply White produces sharp trim contrast, while Shaker Beige and Manchester Tan provide softer neighboring wall transitions. Hale Navy introduces a complementary cool counterpoint in accent applications.
