What color is Benjamin Moore Cabot Trail?
Benjamin Moore Cabot Trail 998 is a muted mid-tone taupe with a warm, softly weathered cast. Its blend of beige and gray keeps it grounded rather than golden, while subtle brown undertones give the color a natural look on broad wall surfaces. In bright daylight, Cabot Trail can read as a light earthy neutral; lower or warmer evening light tends to bring out its deeper, more brown-leaning side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and entryways where a neutral needs more presence than off-white. Pair it with creamy trim, charcoal accents, aged brass, linen upholstery, and medium-to-dark wood for a layered, unfussy interior.

LRV of Cabot Trail
Cabot Trail has an LRV of 28.1% 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 28.1%, 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.
