What color is Benjamin Moore Davenport Tan?
Benjamin Moore Davenport Tan HC-76 is a muted, medium-depth tan with an earthy brown cast and restrained warmth. Its low-saturation character keeps it from reading overly golden, giving the color a grounded, slightly weathered appearance on broad walls. In warm evening light, Davenport Tan can show more of its brown warmth, while cooler daylight may bring out its softened, taupe-like quality. It suits living rooms, halls, dining areas, and exterior siding where a substantial neutral is wanted without the darkness of a deep brown. Pair this shade with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, aged brass, natural oak, leather, and stone finishes.

LRV of Davenport Tan
Davenport Tan has an LRV of 20.35% 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 20.35%, 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.
