What color is Benjamin Moore Cimarron?
Benjamin Moore Cimarron 2093-10 is a deep, earthy brown with a noticeable red cast that keeps it from reading flat or blackened. Its warm, medium-dark character can look like weathered brick or dark russet leather in daylight, while evening light draws out its richer brown depth. Cimarron is especially effective on a dining room wall, library shelving, or a front door where its saturation can be appreciated up close. Pair it with creamy off-whites, muted terracotta, warm taupe, and natural oak or walnut for a grounded palette. Matte black metal and aged brass both give this shade a strong, tailored contrast.

LRV of Cimarron
Cimarron has an LRV of 8.95% 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 8.95%, 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.
