What color is Benjamin Moore English Brown?

Benjamin Moore English Brown 2100-30 is a grounded medium-dark brown with a noticeable muted red cast, reflected in its #7D5648 color value. It reads warm without becoming orange, giving walls a substantial, earthy presence. In brighter daylight, its softened brick-brown character is more apparent, while lower light can make it appear deeper and more restrained. English Brown suits studies, dining rooms, and entryways, and it can also add weight to cabinetry or a painted wood accent. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupes, blackened metal, or medium-toned oak for a layered, natural finish.

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 12.94%, 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.
