Benjamin Moore

Toasted Brown

2097-10

Toasted Brown (Benjamin Moore) is a dark brown with pronounced red undertones, registering an LRV of 9.02, which means it absorbs a significant amount of light and reads as a deep, saturated tone on walls. The red base gives it a warm cast that separates it from cooler espresso or umber browns. It coordinates well with Pale Oak for a lighter neutral counterpoint, Simply White for clean trim contrast, Terra Cotta Tile and Redstone for an analogous warm-earth grouping, and Hale Navy for a cooler complementary pairing that offsets the warmth.
