About Dark Buff
Dark Buff (CSP-320) is a deep beige from Benjamin Moore with a warm peach undertone. With an LRV of 35, Dark Buff 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 Dark Buff'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 Tiramisu (CC-486), it's lighter and cooler.
