What color is Benjamin Moore Driftwood?
Benjamin Moore Driftwood 2107-40 is a muted medium taupe with a noticeable brown cast and a soft gray veil. Its restrained, low-saturation look keeps it grounded rather than overly warm, making it a practical neutral for living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways. In bright daylight, Driftwood can read as a weathered beige-gray, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its earthy brown side. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, aged brass, linen upholstery, and natural oak for a layered, relaxed interior. It has enough depth for cabinetry or an accent wall, yet remains quiet enough to use across all four walls.

LRV of Driftwood
Driftwood has an LRV of 25.29% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 25.29%, 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.
