What color is Benjamin Moore Colonial Brick?

Benjamin Moore Colonial Brick 2093-30 is a muted brick red with a softened, dusty cast that keeps its warm color from feeling overly bright. Its #AE6557 value reads as a medium-depth red, with rosy terracotta undertones that become more noticeable in warm afternoon or incandescent light. In cooler daylight, Colonial Brick can appear a little more restrained and earthy. It has enough presence for a dining room, powder room, front door, or built-in cabinetry, while also making a strong accent wall. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, charcoal, aged brass, natural oak, or dark brown leather 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 19.58%, 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.
