Benjamin Moore

Sequoia

1245

Sequoia is a muted red-brown with distinct violet undertones that separate it from standard warm browns and push it toward a plum-tinged earth tone. Its LRV of 16.8 places it in the low-reflectance range, meaning it will darken a space and benefit from generous lighting. The violet cast is most evident under cool, balanced light sources.

Benjamin Moore White Dove and Revere Pewter provide necessary lightness for trim and adjacent walls. Hale Navy creates a strong tonal contrast, while Saybrook Sage introduces a cooler green complement and Barren Plain offers a quieter neutral pairing.
