Benjamin Moore

Smoke Embers

1466 / AC-28

Smoke Bush is a low-reflectance green-brown with an LRV of 21, placing it firmly in the darker range of the spectrum. Its base reads as an earthy olive with brown dominance, and the green component becomes more apparent in strong natural light. The color carries a muted quality without strong saturation.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter for a lighter neutral transition, Hale Navy for tonal depth, Gloucester Sage for an analogous green pairing, Black Pepper as a near-dark accent, and Alexandria Beige to echo its warmer brown side.
