What color is Benjamin Moore Coppertone?
Benjamin Moore Coppertone 2161-10 is a deep, earthy brown with a clear warm copper-orange cast. Its mid-dark value gives it visual weight, while the muted saturation keeps it from reading overly bright or red. In direct warm light, Coppertone can show more of its baked clay and ochre character; in lower or cooler light, it settles into a grounded brown. It makes a strong choice for a dining room, study, entryway, or a single accent wall where a darker color can add definition. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm beige textiles, aged brass, natural oak, or charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Coppertone
Coppertone has an LRV of 17.36% 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 17.36%, 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.
