What color is Benjamin Moore Country Redwood?

Benjamin Moore Country Redwood HC-183 is a deep, earthy red with a pronounced brown cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its muted brick-and-oxide character reads warm and substantial, especially in daylight or alongside natural wood. In lower light, Country Redwood can appear darker and more reserved, bringing a cocooning effect to dining rooms, studies, entryways, or a powder room. Use it on cabinetry, a fireplace surround, or an exterior door when a full wall feels too bold. Creamy off-whites, warm putty neutrals, black metal, aged brass, and walnut or oak furnishings give this shade a well-considered setting.

LRV of Country Redwood

Country Redwood has an LRV of 8.03% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect light. Why LRV is important?

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 8.03%, 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.
