What color is Benjamin Moore Dijon?
Benjamin Moore Dijon 193 is a light, sun-warmed golden beige with a clear yellow-ochre cast and softened brown undertones. Its moderate brightness keeps it from reading heavy, while the muted saturation gives the color a gently aged, matte look rather than a sharp buttery yellow. In direct afternoon light, Dijon can appear brighter and more honeyed; in cooler daylight, it settles into a quieter tan-gold. It suits dining rooms, kitchens, and living spaces where warm wood, woven fibers, aged brass, or terracotta accents are part of the palette. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, charcoal, or medium walnut for contrast that lets its warmth show.

LRV of Dijon
Dijon has an LRV of 54.24% 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 54.24%, 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.
