What color is Benjamin Moore English Ochre?
Benjamin Moore English Ochre CW-290 is a warm, earthy orange-brown with a distinct golden clay cast. Its medium depth keeps it grounded rather than bright, making it especially effective for a dining room, study, mudroom, or sunlit entry. In strong natural light, the color can show more of its ochre-gold character, while lower light brings out its deeper brown-orange base. Pair English Ochre with creamy off-whites, muted sage greens, charcoal accents, or natural wood for a layered, material-focused scheme. It has enough presence for cabinetry, an accent wall, or exterior details such as a front door or shutters.

LRV of English Ochre
English Ochre has an LRV of 26.32% 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 26.32%, 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.
