What color is Benjamin Moore Burnt Russet?
Benjamin Moore Burnt Russet 042 is a deep, muted red-brown with a noticeable earthy cast. Its color value suggests a grounded blend of brick red and softened brown rather than a bright or dramatic red. In daylight, it can read as a warm clay-toned shade, while lower light brings forward its richer, more shadowed brown side. Use it for a dining room, library, powder room, or a single accent wall where the depth can feel intentional without overwhelming the space. Burnt Russet pairs well with warm off-whites, muted tan, charcoal, aged brass, dark wood, and natural leather.

LRV of Burnt Russet
Burnt Russet has an LRV of 12.25% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 12.25%, 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.
