What color is Benjamin Moore Autumn Leaf?
Benjamin Moore Autumn Leaf 1131 is a muted, mid-tone tan with clear warm brown and soft orange undertones. Its earthy cast keeps it from reading as a flat beige, giving walls a grounded look with noticeable color presence. In bright daylight, Autumn Leaf can appear lighter and more golden, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its deeper clay-brown side. It suits dining rooms, entryways, and studies, especially alongside creamy off-whites, deep chocolate wood, aged brass, and natural linen. Use this shade on full walls for warmth or on cabinetry and built-ins where its subdued richness can stand up to pale surrounding finishes.

LRV of Autumn Leaf
Autumn Leaf has an LRV of 30.65% 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 30.65%, 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.
