What color is Benjamin Moore Giant Sequoia?
Benjamin Moore Giant Sequoia 2094-30 is a medium-dark, earthy red-brown with a noticeable clay-like warmth. Its muted saturation keeps the color grounded rather than bright, making it especially effective for dining rooms, studies, powder rooms, or a dramatic entry wall. In warm daylight, Giant Sequoia can show more of its softened terracotta-red character, while lower or cooler light brings forward its deeper brown base. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, aged brass, walnut, or natural leather to emphasize its rich, grounded quality. It also has enough depth for painted cabinetry or exterior details when balanced with light stone or trim.

LRV of Giant Sequoia
Giant Sequoia has an LRV of 15.57% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 15.57%, 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.
