Benjamin Moore

Shiitake Mushroom

CSP-1040

Shiitake Mushroom is a warm, muted neutral with an LRV of 33.99, placing it in the mid-tone range where it absorbs more light than it reflects. The hex value #AA9D81 reveals soft brown undertones carrying a slight olive cast, which prevents the color from reading as purely tan. It pairs well with Benjamin Moore White Dove for trim contrast, and Pale Oak or Ballet White on adjacent walls maintain tonal continuity.

Kendall Charcoal provides a grounding accent, while Revere Pewter bridges the gap between Shiitake Mushroom and cooler gray schemes in transitional layouts.
