What color is Benjamin Moore Char Brown?
Benjamin Moore Char Brown 2137-20 is a deep, muted brown with a softly earthy cast and low-key warmth. Its #5A4F40 color value gives it a grounded appearance that can read slightly more charcoal-brown in dim rooms and warmer against daylight or cream-colored surroundings. Char Brown is especially effective on cabinetry, built-ins, interior doors, or a dining room accent wall where its depth has room to register. Pair it with warm off-whites, faded clay tones, blackened metal, and natural oak for a layered, material-driven look. In brighter spaces, use this shade selectively to add contrast without making every surface feel dark.

LRV of Char Brown
Char Brown has an LRV of 9.31% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 9.31%, 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.
