What color is Benjamin Moore Baked Clay?
Benjamin Moore Baked Clay 035 is a medium-depth clay red with warm brown and muted terracotta undertones. Its softened saturation keeps the color grounded rather than overly bright, making it especially effective for a dining room, powder room, or an accent wall with architectural detail. In strong daylight, Baked Clay can read as a clearer earthy red, while lower or warmer light brings forward its browned, brick-like side. Pair it with creamy off-whites, dusty beige, deep charcoal, or natural oak for contrast that does not compete. It also has enough weight for painted cabinetry or a front door, particularly alongside aged brass, black metal, and unglazed ceramic finishes.

LRV of Baked Clay
Baked Clay has an LRV of 15.06% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 15.06%, 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.
