What color is Benjamin Moore Foxy Brown?
Benjamin Moore Foxy Brown 1181 is a muted clay-brown with a noticeable rosy cast, giving it a warm, softened look rather than a heavy dark-brown presence. Its mid-tone depth lets the color read as earthy and grounded on a full wall, while the subdued saturation keeps it from feeling overly orange or red. In bright daylight, the pink-beige undertones become clearer; under warmer lamps, it can settle into a richer cinnamon-brown. Foxy Brown suits dining rooms, powder rooms, and bedrooms where a deeper neutral is wanted without turning gray. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, faded olive, or natural oak, along with linen, leather, and aged brass finishes.

LRV of Foxy Brown
Foxy Brown has an LRV of 31.32% 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 31.32%, 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.
