What color is Benjamin Moore Acorn?
Benjamin Moore Acorn 1125 is a muted, medium-depth brown with a clear warm cast and a softly burnished, caramel-like presence. Its color value suggests an earthy mix of brown and ochre rather than a sharp orange or yellow, giving it a grounded look on walls. In bright daylight, Acorn can appear lighter and more golden-brown, while lower or cooler light brings out its deeper, quieter brown side. It suits studies, dining rooms, entryways, and cabinetry where a substantial neutral is wanted without going as dark as chocolate. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm stone, aged brass, cognac leather, and natural oak for a layered palette.

LRV of Acorn
Acorn has an LRV of 20.51% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 20.51%, 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.
