Benjamin Moore

Root Beer Candy

2105-20

Root Beer Candy is a deep, warm brown with red and earthy undertones, sitting at an LRV of 9.96. At this very low reflectance, it creates substantial visual weight and requires ample ambient or artificial light to avoid reading flat. The red-brown warmth is evident under incandescent lighting, while cooler sources reveal more of its raw umber quality.

White Dove and Ballet White deliver the tonal lift needed for adjacent trim. Hale Navy offers a contrasting depth shift, while Warmed Cognac and Nantucket Gray provide analogous warm companions without duplicating its tone.
