What color is Benjamin Moore Auberge?
Benjamin Moore Auberge 2106-20 is a deep, muted brown with a noticeable warm red cast. Its #6D4E3F value reads like softened umber rather than a sharp chocolate, giving the color an earthy, slightly smoky character. In bright daylight, the reddish-brown undertone is more apparent, while lower light can make it look darker and more grounded. Auberge suits dining rooms, studies, or powder rooms where a substantial wall color feels appropriate, and it can also give cabinetry a rich, matte-looking presence. Pair it with warm off-whites, clay-toned textiles, aged brass, walnut, or natural linen to reinforce its warmth.

LRV of Auberge
Auberge has an LRV of 9.84% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 9.84%, 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.
