What color is Benjamin Moore Deep Taupe?
Benjamin Moore Deep Taupe 2111-10 is a dark, muted brown with a clear warm cast and a softened, earthy character. Its low-light depth makes it especially effective on cabinetry, interior doors, built-ins, or a dining room accent wall. In bright daylight, the brown reads more defined, while evening lighting can make this shade appear deeper and more enveloping. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm beige textiles, natural oak, aged brass, or blackened metal for contrast. Deep Taupe is best used where its rich depth can ground a room without covering every surface.

LRV of Deep Taupe
Deep Taupe has an LRV of 7.86% 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 7.86%, 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.
