What color is Benjamin Moore Fresh Brew?
Benjamin Moore Fresh Brew 1232 is a deep, muted brown with a noticeable red cast that keeps it from reading flat or charcoal-like. Its medium-dark value gives walls a grounded, enveloping look, especially in dining rooms, libraries, or bedrooms with ample natural light. In brighter conditions, the warm russet undertone becomes clearer; at night, this shade settles into a richer brown. Fresh Brew pairs well with creamy off-whites, clay-toned neutrals, aged brass, walnut, and cognac leather. Use it on an accent wall or built-in cabinetry when you want depth without the sharper contrast of near-black paint.

LRV of Fresh Brew
Fresh Brew has an LRV of 9.79% 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 9.79%, 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.
