What color is Benjamin Moore Brown Teepee?
Benjamin Moore Brown Teepee 2102-40 is a muted mid-tone brown with a noticeable dusty rose cast. Its red-beige undertone keeps it warmer than a standard taupe, while the softened saturation prevents it from reading too pink on broad walls. In bright daylight, this shade can appear like faded terracotta mixed with brown; lower light brings out its deeper, earthier side. Use Brown Teepee in dining rooms, bedrooms, or a powder room with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, and linen upholstery. It also makes a grounded cabinet or accent-wall color beside creamy neutrals and charcoal details.

LRV of Brown Teepee
Brown Teepee has an LRV of 25.28% 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 25.28%, 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.
