Kona

Benjamin Moore Kona (AF-165) carries the measured structure of its color data and the less predictable beauty of paint in a finished space. Its beige and greige classifications hint at the directions it may take as daylight, lamps and neighboring colors move around it. Treat the digital swatch as an opening note, then watch a physical sample from morning light through evening lamps.
