Cabernet
There is more to Benjamin Moore Cabernet (2116-30) than the swatch alone: its depth, undertones and setting all shape the final impression. A red undertone may emerge most clearly where the paint meets a cleaner white, stone surface or contrasting textile. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.
