Benjamin Moore

Warmed Cognac

AF-235

Warmed Cognac (BM) is a deep orange-brown with noticeable amber and burnt-orange undertones, carrying an LRV of 15.06. This low reflectance value means the color reads as a dark, saturated tone that absorbs considerable ambient light. The orange component separates it from standard mid-browns and pushes it toward the warm end of the spectrum.

Suitable same-brand pairings include Revere Pewter, Edgecomb Gray, Hale Navy, Backwoods, and Simply White, providing a range from neutral contrast to tonal coordination.
