About Brentwood
Brentwood (1223) is a deep, medium-strength beige from Benjamin Moore that leans peach. With an LRV of 20, Brentwood absorbs more light than it reflects, so it works best in rooms with good natural light or where you want a cozier feel.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Brentwood's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for bedrooms, offices, accent walls and kitchen cabinets. Next to Antique Copper (1169), it's warmer.
How Brentwood changes with the light
Brentwood has a strong warm undertone that balances cool north light well. In strong south or west sun it can look more golden, so check a sample at midday and in the late afternoon.
North-facing rooms

South-facing rooms
In strong south light Brentwood can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.
West-facing rooms
Brentwood will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
