What color is Benjamin Moore Brown Sugar?

Benjamin Moore Brown Sugar 2112-20 is a deep, low-saturation brown with a subtle warm cast that keeps it from reading flat or black. Its muted character makes it especially effective for a study, dining room, powder room, or a cozy accent wall where a darker color can feel intentional rather than stark. In brighter light, Brown Sugar can appear like a softened earthy brown, while evening conditions draw out its charcoal-like depth. Pair it with creamy off-whites, weathered oak, aged brass, and natural linen for a grounded, layered look. It also has enough depth for cabinetry or interior doors when you want contrast without the sharper edge of true black.

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 8.03%, 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.
