What color is Benjamin Moore Firewood?
Benjamin Moore Firewood 1027 is a muted medium brown with a warm taupe cast and softly weathered character. Its #9C806D color value reads as an earthy blend of brown and beige rather than a strongly orange or yellow tan. In bright daylight, Firewood can appear lighter and more neutral, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its deeper, grounded brown side. It suits studies, dining rooms, entryways, and bedrooms where a mid-depth wall color can add definition without feeling overly dark. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, aged brass, natural oak, or linen upholstery for a layered, material-focused interior.

LRV of Firewood
Firewood has an LRV of 23.72% 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 23.72%, 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.
