What color is Benjamin Moore Fresh Clay?

Benjamin Moore Fresh Clay 2093-20 is a deep, earthy red-brown with a clear clay-like warmth and a slightly muted finish. Its brown base keeps the terracotta-red character from feeling too bright, giving it substantial visual weight on a wall or built-in. In bright daylight, Fresh Clay can show more of its warm brick-red presence, while lower or cooler light brings forward its grounded brown side. It suits dining rooms, entryways, powder rooms, or cabinetry where a darker color can add definition without reading nearly black. Pair it with warm off-whites, sand-colored linens, natural oak, aged brass, and charcoal accents for a layered, material-focused interior.

LRV of Fresh Clay

Fresh Clay has an LRV of 12.7% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little lightWhy LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 12.7%, 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.
