What color is Benjamin Moore Classic Brown?

Benjamin Moore Classic Brown 2109-10 is a deep, muted brown with a noticeable warm cast that keeps it from reading flat or blackened. Its low-light character makes it especially effective on library walls, dining rooms, built-in shelving, or cabinetry where a grounded, enveloping finish is wanted. In bright daylight, this color can show more of its earthy brown warmth, while dimmer rooms may make it appear closer to a dark cocoa tone. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupes, aged brass, natural oak, and cognac leather to reinforce its understated richness.

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 7.56%, 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.
