What color is Benjamin Moore Grandfather Clock Brown?
Benjamin Moore Grandfather Clock Brown 2096-30 is a medium-deep brown with a clearly warm, muted red cast. Its #825B48 color value gives it an earthy, clay-leaning character rather than the near-black effect of a very dark espresso brown. In bright daylight, the warm brown-red notes are more apparent, while evening light can make the shade look deeper and more grounded. Use Grandfather Clock Brown on a dining room wall, library built-ins, or a painted accent piece where a substantial color is wanted without going overly dark. It pairs well with soft cream, warm off-white, dusty terracotta, aged brass, natural linen, and medium-to-dark wood finishes.
LRV of Grandfather Clock Brown
Grandfather Clock Brown has an LRV of 12.93% 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 12.93%, 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.
