What color is Benjamin Moore Cambridge Riverbed?
Benjamin Moore Cambridge Riverbed 1035 is a muted mid-tone brown with a noticeable earthy warmth and a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly rustic. Its subdued, low-saturation character gives walls a grounded look, especially in living rooms, studies, and dining spaces with natural light. In brighter daylight, the color can show more of its weathered taupe quality, while evening lighting draws out its warmer brown side. Pair Cambridge Riverbed with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, aged brass, oak, leather, and linen for a layered, material-focused interior. It also has enough depth to suit cabinetry or a painted accent wall when a darker neutral is wanted without moving into near-black territory.

LRV of Cambridge Riverbed
Cambridge Riverbed has an LRV of 19.24% 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 19.24%, 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.
