Benjamin Moore

Rural Earth

1239

Rural Earth is a very deep brown with an LRV of 9.72, approaching near-neutral territory where brown and charcoal overlap. The undertone leans warm but is muted enough that the color reads close to a dark taupe-brown rather than a chocolate. In low light it can appear almost black
