What color is Benjamin Moore Branchport Brown?
Benjamin Moore Branchport Brown HC-72 is a deep, muted brown with a noticeable charcoal cast that keeps its warmth restrained. Its low-saturation appearance gives it an earthy, weathered quality rather than the richness of a red or orange brown. In bright daylight, this shade can read as a softened dark taupe-brown, while warmer evening light brings forward its subtle brown base. It makes a grounded choice for library walls, dining rooms, exterior trim, or a powder room where a darker backdrop is welcome. Pair Branchport Brown with creamy off-whites, aged brass, blackened metal, pale oak, or stone finishes in warm gray and sand tones.

LRV of Branchport Brown
Branchport Brown has an LRV of 10.02% 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 10.02%, 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.
