What color is Benjamin Moore Espresso Bark?
Benjamin Moore Espresso Bark CSP-390 is a deep, muted brown with a noticeable earthy red cast and a softly weathered gray undertone. Its low-light character makes it read almost charcoal-brown in shadow, while warmer daylight brings out the cocoa and clay notes in the color. Espresso Bark has enough depth for a library, dining room, or bedroom accent wall, and it can give cabinetry a grounded, furniture-like presence. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm putty tones, aged brass, blackened metal, and natural woods such as walnut or oak. Because it is so dark, this shade is especially effective where there is good natural light or layered lighting to define the surface.

LRV of Espresso Bark
Espresso Bark has an LRV of 8.18% 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 8.18%, 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.
