Sierra Spruce

2108-20

Sierra Spruce is a dark, muted brown with green undertones at hex #604E40 and an LRV of just 9.69. It absorbs the vast majority of ambient light, producing a dense appearance that reads as a warm near-neutral in most settings. The green cast is subtle and primarily emerges under daylight or when placed next to pure browns.

It requires generous natural light to maintain visual clarity. Coordinate it with Benjamin Moore's White Dove for contrast, Horizon for lighter balance, Rustic Taupe for tonal warmth, Guacamole for green continuity, and Sparrow for analogous depth.
