What color is Benjamin Moore Beaver Brown?
Benjamin Moore Beaver Brown 2104-20 is a deep, earthy brown with a noticeable red cast that keeps it from reading flat or blackened. Its warm, medium-dark character can make a dining room, study, or powder room feel grounded, especially when used on all four walls. In daylight, the color’s brick-like brown undertone is more apparent; lower evening light draws it toward a richer, darker wood tone. Pair Beaver Brown with creamy off-whites, muted clay tones, or soft warm grays, along with oak, walnut, aged brass, and natural leather. It also has enough depth for cabinetry, interior doors, or a restrained exterior accent.

LRV of Beaver Brown
Beaver Brown has an LRV of 9.05% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 9.05%, 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.
