What color is Benjamin Moore Chestnut?

Benjamin Moore Chestnut 2082-10 is a deep, muted red with a noticeable brown cast, landing somewhere between aged brick and dark terracotta. Its low-to-mid brightness gives it visual weight, while the softened red keeps it from reading as a sharp crimson. In bright daylight, Chestnut can show more of its earthy red character; under warm evening lighting, it is likely to appear darker and more brown-toned. It has enough depth for a dining room, library, or powder room wall, and it also makes a strong choice for painted cabinetry or an interior accent door. Pair this shade with warm ivory, clay beige, blackened bronze hardware, walnut, and natural linen for a grounded, layered look.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 8.76%, 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.
