What color is Benjamin Moore Bronze Tone?
Benjamin Moore Bronze Tone 2166-30 is a warm, mid-depth orange-brown with a distinctly earthy, clay-like cast. Its #C7773E color value gives it noticeable saturation, so it reads more energetic than a muted tan while staying grounded enough for large surfaces. In bright daylight, the orange warmth becomes clearer; lower or warmer lighting can draw out its deeper brown side. Bronze Tone makes a strong statement on a dining-room wall, a powder-room vanity, or built-in shelving. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, charcoal accents, and natural woods such as walnut or oak for a layered, material-rich look.

LRV of Bronze Tone
Bronze Tone has an LRV of 25.68% 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 25.68%, 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.
