About Saddle Soap
Saddle Soap (2110-30) is a very dark beige from Benjamin Moore with a warm peach undertone. With an LRV of 16, Saddle Soap absorbs most light. It creates a dramatic, enveloping look and suits accent walls, cabinetry and well-lit rooms.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Saddle Soap'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 Chocolate Pudding (1014); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
