Essential Brown combines the depth of a light, cool beige with evenly balanced undertones for a quiet effect. With an LRV of 74, it offers a serene backdrop for bedrooms, bathrooms, and reading nooks. Benjamin Moore offers Plantation as a near-identical match, while PPG's Northern Landscape is also very similar. It pairs beautifully with warm wood tones to offset its coolness, or with silver and chrome for a polished look.
