More about Pier
Pier is a deep, sophisticated brown at LRV 9 — a rich, slightly cool-leaning chocolate that reads modern rather than dated, which is the trick most dark browns miss. It's a confident choice for cabinetry, an accent wall, or an exterior body where you want warmth and depth without going to black.
As a deep tone it needs some light to show its brown character and reads nearly black in shadow. It pairs beautifully with warm whites, brass, and natural materials. Behr Melted Chocolate is its closest cross-brand match, with Benjamin Moore Char Brown very similar.
