What color is Benjamin Moore Firenze?
Benjamin Moore Firenze AF-225 is a warm, earthy mid-tone with a baked clay appearance, combining muted orange with soft brown undertones. Its moderate saturation gives it presence without reading as overly bright, especially on broad walls in dining rooms, entries, or sunlit living spaces. In warm daylight, Firenze can look more terracotta-forward; under lower or cooler light, its brown base becomes more apparent. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, charcoal accents, or natural oak and walnut for a grounded palette. It also makes a strong choice for a front door, built-in cabinetry, or an accent wall where its warm color can be appreciated up close.

LRV of Firenze
Firenze has an LRV of 23.6% 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 23.6%, 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.
