What color is Benjamin Moore Dark Nut Brown?
Benjamin Moore Dark Nut Brown 2098-30 is a medium-dark brown with a clear warm cast and a muted reddish-brown undertone. Its earthy depth makes it especially effective on dining room walls, libraries, entryway accents, or built-in cabinetry where a grounded color is wanted. In bright daylight, this shade can show more of its softened clay warmth, while lower light brings out its deeper brown character. Pair Dark Nut Brown with creamy off-whites, warm taupes, muted terracotta, or aged brass for a cohesive palette. Natural oak, cognac leather, and textured linen also complement this color’s substantial, understated presence.

LRV of Dark Nut Brown
Dark Nut Brown has an LRV of 12.32% 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 12.32%, 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.
