What color is Benjamin Moore Falcon Brown?
Benjamin Moore Falcon Brown 1238 is a deep, muted brown with a warm, earthy cast that reads like softened cocoa rather than near-black. Its restrained saturation keeps the color from feeling heavy, while the slight warmth gives it a grounded presence on walls or built-in cabinetry. In bright natural light, Falcon Brown can appear more softened and brown-gray; under warm evening lighting, its richer brown character becomes more noticeable. Pair it with creamy off-whites, pale beige stone, aged brass, and medium-toned wood for a layered, natural-looking palette. It is especially effective in dining rooms, studies, entryways, or as a dark accent around trim and shelving.
LRV of Falcon Brown
Falcon Brown has an LRV of 9.26% 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 9.26%, 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.
