What color is Benjamin Moore Egyptian Clay?
Benjamin Moore Egyptian Clay CSP-1140 is a medium-depth clay red with earthy terracotta and brown undertones. Its warm, gently muted character keeps it from reading as a bright orange-red, giving walls a grounded, sunbaked look. In direct afternoon light, Egyptian Clay can show more of its rusty orange side, while lower or cooler light brings out its deeper brick-brown cast. It suits dining rooms, entryways, powder rooms, and exterior doors where a more concentrated color feels intentional. Pair it with soft cream, warm white, charcoal, natural oak, aged brass, and woven materials such as leather or jute.

LRV of Egyptian Clay
Egyptian Clay has an LRV of 16.7% 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 16.7%, 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.
