What color is Benjamin Moore Baked Terra Cotta?

Benjamin Moore Baked Terra Cotta 1202 is a muted, medium-depth clay tone with a warm red-brown base and a softly dusty finish. Its #B36957 color value gives it more restraint than a bright orange terracotta, keeping the color grounded and usable across larger wall areas. In daylight, it can read as a sunbaked earthy rose, while warmer artificial lighting may draw out its brownish copper notes. Use Baked Terra Cotta on dining room walls, a powder room, or a painted fireplace surround for noticeable warmth without excessive brightness. It pairs naturally with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, charcoal accents, aged brass, natural oak, and woven textures.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 20.93%, 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.
