What color is Benjamin Moore Baywood Brown?
Benjamin Moore Baywood Brown 1234 is a muted medium-light brown with a noticeable rosy beige cast, drawn from its soft #B5988A color value. It reads warmer than a standard taupe, but its subdued saturation keeps it from looking overly orange or red. In bright natural light, the color can appear like a dusty putty brown, while warmer evening lighting brings out its gentle pink-brown undertone. Baywood Brown is well suited to living room walls, bedrooms, or a dining room where a grounded neutral is wanted without turning the space dark. Pair it with creamy off-whites, weathered oak, linen upholstery, and aged brass for a layered, natural-looking palette.

LRV of Baywood Brown
Baywood Brown has an LRV of 34.09% 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 34.09%, 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.
