What color is Benjamin Moore Coachman's Cape?
Benjamin Moore Coachman's Cape CSP-90 is a muted, medium-dark gray-brown with a gently warm cast. Its low saturation gives it a softened, weathered look rather than a sharp charcoal appearance. In bright daylight, the color can read as a calm warm gray, while lower or warmer lighting draws out its subtle taupe and brown notes. It has enough depth for a study, dining room, or bedroom wall, especially alongside creamy off-whites, aged brass, and natural oak. Coachman's Cape also suits painted cabinetry or an exterior door when paired with pale stone, soft beige, or charcoal trim.

LRV of Coachman's Cape

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 14.04%, 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.
