Benjamin Moore

Roasted Coffee Beans

2098-20

Roasted Coffee Beans is a deep, warm brown with red-tinged undertones and an LRV of 9.64, placing it near the bottom of the reflectance scale. At this depth, it absorbs most ambient light and reads as a rich, concentrated brown that can dominate smaller spaces. The red undertone prevents it from appearing flat or ashy, lending a slight warmth visible at close range.

Balance its weight with lighter neutrals like White Dove or Balboa Mist, build warmth alongside Lenox Tan or Autumn Cover, and introduce contrast through Hale Navy or Salamander.
