What color is Benjamin Moore Appalachian Spring?
Benjamin Moore Appalachian Spring 2100-40 is a muted clay rose with a grounded brown cast, sitting comfortably between dusty terracotta and softened mauve. Its medium depth gives walls noticeable color without reading overly dark, especially in rooms with generous daylight. Warm light brings forward its earthy red notes, while cooler exposure can make the gray-brown side of the shade more apparent. Use it in a dining room, bedroom, or powder room alongside warm white trim, aged brass, walnut, and natural linen. Appalachian Spring also makes a strong choice for cabinetry or a single accent wall when paired with creamy neutrals and charcoal details.
LRV of Appalachian Spring
Appalachian Spring has an LRV of 25.12% 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 25.12%, 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.
