What color is Benjamin Moore Dearborn Tan?
Benjamin Moore Dearborn Tan 1153 is a light-to-medium tan with a distinctly warm, softly peach-beige cast. Its muted saturation keeps the color grounded rather than yellow, giving walls a gentle sun-warmed appearance. In bright daylight, Dearborn Tan can read as a pale clay beige, while lower or warmer artificial light draws out its rosy caramel undertones. It suits living rooms, dining areas, and hallways where a warmer neutral is wanted without the heaviness of a deeper brown. Pair it with creamy off-whites, natural oak, aged brass, terracotta textiles, or charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Dearborn Tan
Dearborn Tan has an LRV of 41.5% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 41.5%, 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.
