What color is Benjamin Moore Broken Arrow?
Benjamin Moore Broken Arrow 1026 is a muted mid-tone beige with a warm, lightly weathered cast. Its blend of tan and soft brown gives it more presence than a pale cream, while the restrained saturation keeps it from reading overly golden. In bright daylight, Broken Arrow can look like a sandy neutral; under warm lamps, its earthy depth becomes more noticeable. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a grounded wall color is wanted without going dark. Pair it with creamy whites, faded blue-gray accents, natural oak, linen, and aged brass for a relaxed, layered interior.

LRV of Broken Arrow
Broken Arrow has an LRV of 37.28% 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 37.28%, 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.
