What color is Benjamin Moore Dried Mustard?

Benjamin Moore Dried Mustard 2158-10 is a deep golden-brown yellow with a clearly earthy, orange-leaning cast. Its #BE7F3E color value gives it substantial saturation, so it reads more like a sunbaked ochre than a pale mustard. In bright daylight, the yellow warmth comes forward; under softer evening lighting, it can appear richer and more brown-toned. Use Dried Mustard on a dining room wall, a painted built-in, or a small dose of cabinetry where its depth can hold its own. It pairs naturally with warm white trim, charcoal accents, aged brass, cognac leather, and medium-to-dark wood grains.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 25.71%, 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.
