About Cabot Trail
Cabot Trail (CC-480) is a deep beige from Benjamin Moore with a warm peach undertone. With an LRV of 28, Cabot Trail 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 Cabot Trail'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. It's very close to Deer Granite (CC-452); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
