About Firewood
Firewood (1027) is a deep beige from Benjamin Moore with a warm peach undertone. With an LRV of 24, Firewood 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 Firewood'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 Taupetone (1013), it's warmer.
How Firewood changes with the light
Firewood 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
Firewood's warmth balances the cool north light, which is why warmer colors are the safe pick for north rooms.
East-facing rooms
Firewood will look warmer and brighter in the morning and cooler and grayer by afternoon; check a sample at both times.
South-facing rooms
In strong south light Firewood can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.
West-facing rooms
Firewood will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
