Both easygoing and nuanced, Brown Bear is a deep, warm red with subtle blush undertones. With an LRV of 22, it grounds a space with quiet intensity, working beautifully in dens, master bedrooms, and formal dining rooms. For a cross-brand equivalent, Sherwin-Williams's Marooned is a near-identical match. Behr's Brown Eyes runs close as well.
