What color is Benjamin Moore Coriander Seed?
Benjamin Moore Coriander Seed AF-110 is a muted, medium-depth brown-beige with a noticeable khaki cast.

Use it on living room or dining room walls where its grounded depth can hold its own beside cream trim and natural oak. Coriander Seed also suits cabinetry or an accent wall paired with off-white, charcoal, aged brass, leather, and woven natural-fiber textures.

LRV of Coriander Seed
Coriander Seed has an LRV of 23.34% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 23.34%, 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.
