What color is Benjamin Moore Dark Walnut?
Benjamin Moore Dark Walnut 1358 is a deep, muted brown with a noticeable red-violet cast that keeps it from reading flat or nearly black. Its low-light depth makes it especially effective on cabinetry, a dining room accent wall, or interior doors where a stronger contrast is welcome. In brighter daylight, the dusty wine and cocoa notes become more apparent, while evening light can make the shade feel richer and more shadowed. Pair Dark Walnut with warm ivory, soft putty, or pale blush-toned neutrals to highlight its warmth, or use aged brass and dark wood for a layered, grounded look.

LRV of Dark Walnut
Dark Walnut has an LRV of 9.56% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 9.56%, 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.
