What color is Benjamin Moore Boston Brick?

Benjamin Moore Boston Brick 2092-30 is a deep, muted red-brown with a noticeable earthy cast. Its low-to-medium saturation keeps the color grounded rather than bright, giving walls a substantial, cocooning presence. In direct daylight, the red tone becomes clearer, while lower or warmer light draws out its brown, clay-like depth. It suits dining rooms, studies, powder rooms, and exterior doors where a darker color can provide definition. Pair Boston Brick with warm off-whites, natural oak, aged brass, blackened metal, or textured linen for a layered, material-rich look.

LRV of Boston Brick

Boston Brick has an LRV of 11.54% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little light. Why LRV is important?

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 11.54%, 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.
