Benjamin Moore

Spanish Brown

1028

Spanish Brown has an LRV of 20.14, placing it in the darker portion of the mid-tone range with a warm base composed of brown and subtle orange-red undertones. It reads as a natural, earthy brown without excessive redness, and maintains its warmth under both incandescent and daylight conditions. The color provides solid depth without the heaviness of darker browns.

It works alongside Lenox Tan and Shaker Beige for a warm tonal progression, pairs with White Dove for clean trim contrast, and can be balanced against Hale Navy or Knoxville Gray for cooler counterpoints.
