What color is Benjamin Moore Earthly Russet?
Benjamin Moore Earthly Russet 2173-10 is a deep, earthy red-brown with a distinctly warm cast. Its #804531 color value suggests a grounded mix of russet red and softened brown rather than a bright brick or orange terracotta. In daylight, the red notes can feel more apparent, while lower or warmer artificial light may draw out its darker brown character. Earthly Russet suits dining rooms, dens, entryways, or a library-like office, especially when used on an accent wall, built-ins, or cabinetry. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm beige, aged brass, natural wood, and matte black details for contrast.

LRV of Earthly Russet
Earthly Russet has an LRV of 9.6% 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 9.6%, 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.
