What color is Benjamin Moore Butternut Brown?

Benjamin Moore Butternut Brown 2095-30 is a muted medium-dark brown with a noticeable warm, reddish cast. Its softened depth keeps it from reading as a heavy chocolate, while the low-key saturation gives walls a grounded, earthy presence. In bright daylight, this color can show more of its warm clay-brown character; under evening lamps, it settles into a deeper, more enveloping brown. Use Butternut Brown on a dining room, library, or powder room for a close, cocooning effect, or reserve it for cabinetry and interior doors against lighter walls. It pairs naturally with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, aged brass, cognac leather, and medium to dark wood finishes.

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 13.21%, 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.
