What color is Benjamin Moore Bryan Ochre?
Benjamin Moore Bryan Ochre CW-390 is a muted, mid-depth ochre with a warm golden-brown cast. Its earthy color value keeps it from reading overly yellow, giving walls a grounded look that feels especially at home in dining rooms, entryways, or studies. In bright natural light, Bryan Ochre can show more of its honeyed warmth, while lower light brings forward its deeper tan-brown side. Pair it with creamy off-whites, dusty blue-gray textiles, dark wood furniture, or aged brass for a layered palette. This shade also has enough presence for a painted cabinet, interior door, or small accent wall.

LRV of Bryan Ochre
Bryan Ochre has an LRV of 28.79% 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 28.79%, 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.
