Benjamin Moore

Rocky Beach

CSP-190

Rocky Beach is a muted brown with noticeable gray undertones and an LRV of 38.16, placing it in the mid-tone range. The gray influence tempers the brown, keeping it from reading too warm or heavy on large surfaces. Under cool daylight it leans more stone-like, while warm lighting draws out the brown base.

Black Pepper creates a high-contrast pairing that sharpens its muted character, and Gray Owl offers a lighter tonal transition. White Dove and Natural Cream work as clean, warm trim options that allow the color to anchor a room without darkening the overall palette.
