Benjamin Moore

Wet Clay

CSP-1045

Wet Clay (2110-30) is a warm neutral brown from Benjamin Moore with gray undertones that temper its earthiness. It has an LRV of 24.51, classifying it as a moderately dark shade that absorbs a substantial portion of ambient light. The gray component prevents the brown from appearing overly rustic or reddish, keeping it grounded and balanced.

Recommended Benjamin Moore pairings include Albescent, Night Shade, Ocean Floor, Soft Sand, and Pale Oak. Wet Clay reads consistently warm-neutral and suits spaces where depth without heaviness is the objective.
