Brooklyn Brownstone

2003-9A

Brooklyn Brownstone is a dark reddish brown, close to brick in shadow. The brick-red undertone gives doors and trim real weight. The color fits exterior trim, a library wall, or interior doors where historic warmth is welcome.

Since it is quite dark, keep ceilings and adjacent walls lighter. Pair it with ivory trim, aged brass, or slate. In low daylight, the red undertone becomes less visible.
