What color is Benjamin Moore Hickory Stick?
Benjamin Moore Hickory Stick 2103-40 is a muted, medium-depth rose-brown with a softly weathered cast. Its red and brown base keeps it warm, while the subdued grayness prevents it from reading overly pink. In daylight, Hickory Stick can show as an earthy dusty mauve; under warmer lamps, its brown undertone becomes more noticeable. It gives bedrooms, dining rooms, and powder rooms a grounded color statement without making the walls feel overly dark. Pair it with warm off-whites, charcoal accents, aged brass, natural oak, or linen upholstery for a layered, material-focused look.

LRV of Hickory Stick
Hickory Stick has an LRV of 21.3% 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 21.3%, 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.
