What color is Benjamin Moore Abbey Brown?
Benjamin Moore Abbey Brown 1225 is a muted, medium-dark brown with a clear warm cast and soft reddish clay undertones. Its earthy depth gives it enough presence for a dining room, library, or entryway without reading nearly black. In bright daylight, the color can show more of its warm brown-red character, while lower light makes it feel deeper and more grounded. Abbey Brown suits painted cabinetry, an accent wall, or exterior trim paired with creamy off-whites, warm beige stone, aged brass, and natural wood. Cool blue-grays may make its red undertone appear more noticeable, so warmer neutrals and organic materials are especially natural companions.

LRV of Abbey Brown
Abbey Brown has an LRV of 12.3% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 12.3%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
