What color is Benjamin Moore Copper Mine?
Benjamin Moore Copper Mine 2094-20 is a deep, earthy reddish brown with a clear warm clay undertone. Its #864D3B color value gives it enough saturation to read as more than a neutral, while its depth keeps it grounded rather than bright. On a dining room wall or in a study, Copper Mine can create a close, enveloping backdrop, especially alongside cream trim and warm white ceilings. It also has the weight for painted cabinetry, built-ins, or a front door paired with aged brass, cognac leather, natural oak, and charcoal accents. Brighter light may bring forward its red-brown character, while lower light emphasizes its darker, soil-like base.

LRV of Copper Mine
Copper Mine has an LRV of 10.92% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 10.92%, 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.
