What color is Benjamin Moore Autumn Cover?
Benjamin Moore Autumn Cover 2170-30 is a warm, mid-depth orange with a clear red-coral cast. Its #D56E4E color value gives it a lively, earthy presence that reads like softened terracotta rather than a bright citrus orange. In direct daylight, Autumn Cover can look sunnier and more animated, while lower or warmer light brings forward its richer rust notes. It makes a strong choice for a dining room, mudroom, or a single accent wall where a confident color is welcome. Pair it with creamy off-whites, muted sand tones, warm wood, aged brass, or deep olive-green accents to ground its warmth.

LRV of Autumn Cover
Autumn Cover has an LRV of 25.02% 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 25.02%, 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.
