What color is Benjamin Moore Caramel Latte?
Benjamin Moore Caramel Latte 2166-20 is a saturated, mid-depth orange-brown with clear baked-clay warmth. Its color value, #BC6B32, gives it a strong cinnamon and terracotta cast rather than a muted beige appearance. In daylight, Caramel Latte reads as an earthy orange, while warmer bulbs can pull forward its richer brown notes. It has enough depth for a dining room accent wall, a front door, or painted cabinetry, especially beside cream tile, natural oak, aged brass, and deep brown leather. For contrast, pair this shade with soft off-whites or grounded charcoal rather than similarly warm oranges.

LRV of Caramel Latte
Caramel Latte has an LRV of 20.8% 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 20.8%, 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.
