What color is Benjamin Moore Desert Camel?
Benjamin Moore Desert Camel 2162-20 is a mid-depth, earthy brown with a clear warm golden cast. Its #8C663B color value reads like sunbaked clay or worn leather, carrying enough orange-brown richness to feel substantial without becoming overly dark. In bright natural light, Desert Camel can show its ochre warmth more clearly, while evening light gives it a deeper, more grounded brown appearance. It suits dining rooms, studies, entryways, or accent walls where a stronger neutral is wanted. Pair it with creamy off-whites, muted olive greens, blackened metal, and natural wood for a layered, material-focused interior.

LRV of Desert Camel
Desert Camel has an LRV of 15.52% 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 15.52%, 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.
