Benjamin Moore

Rosewood

2082-40

Rosewood registers an LRV of 28.14, making it a darker, absorptive tone that requires balanced lighting to reveal its full character. It is a muted red modulated by a gray undertone that prevents it from reading as saturated or bright, lending it a dusty, aged-rose quality. In low light it can appear closer to a warm taupe, while in bright conditions the red base becomes more legible.

Rosewood pairs with Benjamin Moore Guilford Green for complementary contrast, Silken Pine in analogous tones, Shaker Beige for warm trim, Pink Damask as a lighter tonal bridge, and White Dove on ceilings.
