What color is Benjamin Moore Badlands?
Benjamin Moore Badlands 1293 is a muted, medium-depth clay rose with clear warm red and brown undertones. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading overly pink, giving walls an earthy, settled look rather than a bright terracotta effect. In direct daylight, Badlands can show more of its dusty rose side, while evening light tends to draw out its deeper, baked-clay character. It suits dining rooms, bedrooms, and powder rooms, or can bring a grounded color statement to cabinetry and an accent wall. Pair it with warm off-whites, mushroom beige, deep olive, aged brass, natural oak, and textured linen for a layered finish.

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 24.63%, 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.
