What color is Benjamin Moore Cattail?
Benjamin Moore Cattail CSP-295 is a medium-deep, muted brown with a clear warm, earthy cast. Its reddish-gold undertone keeps it from reading flat, giving the color the look of sunbaked clay mixed with weathered wood. In bright natural light, Cattail can appear lighter and more ochre-brown, while lower light emphasizes its deeper cocoa and russet notes. It brings useful depth to dining rooms, dens, and entryways, especially on cabinetry, paneling, or a single enveloping accent wall. Pair it with creamy off-whites, soft camel textiles, aged brass, walnut, and natural stone for a layered, grounded interior.

LRV of Cattail
Cattail has an LRV of 15.9% 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 15.9%, 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.
