Benjamin Moore

Suede Brown

2101-10

Suede Brown is a dark red-brown with a subtle burgundy undertone that adds depth. An LRV of 8.99 makes it a low-reflectance color suited for intimate or accent applications. It works well in libraries, dining rooms, or studies where a grounded atmosphere is needed.

The undertone remains rich without turning purple. Suede Brown pairs effectively with Benjamin Moore Cream Fleece and Shelburne Buff, while Gentleman’s Gray and Midnight Navy provide contrast. Persimmon and Concord Ivory support related warm combinations.
