Benjamin Moore

Valley Forge Brown

HC-74 / 1126

Valley Forge Brown from Benjamin Moore is a medium-dark brown with warm orange undertones that give it an earthy, roasted quality. Its LRV of 17.88 means it absorbs a significant amount of light, reading as a clearly dark tone on walls and woodwork. The orange undertone keeps it from appearing flat or cool and provides visible warmth even in lower-light conditions.

It coordinates with Benjamin Moore's Soft Wheat, Richmond Gold, Hale Navy, White Dove, and Swiss Coffee for balanced color schemes.
