Benjamin Moore

Tamarind

AF-120

Tamarind (Benjamin Moore) is a deep, warm brown with an LRV of 13.84, making it a low-reflectance color that absorbs a significant amount of light. Its undertone leans toward a muted yellow-orange, giving it an earthy, grounded read without any obvious red or olive cast. For a close-value earth-tone grouping, it pairs with Benjamin Moore Lenox Tan and Stone House.

Jute and Coastal Path offer lighter neutral steps for adjacent surfaces, while Hale Navy introduces a cool-toned contrast that sharpens the warmth of the brown.
