What color is Benjamin Moore Hope Chest?
Benjamin Moore Hope Chest CSP-1050 is a muted, medium-deep brown with an earthy umber character and low-key warmth. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading overly dark or heavy, especially when paired with lighter trim or pale flooring. In cooler daylight, Hope Chest can appear more restrained and weathered, while warm lamps bring forward its brown warmth. It suits studies, dining rooms, mudrooms, and built-in cabinetry, where its depth gives architectural details more presence. Pair it with creamy off-whites, faded olive greens, charcoal accents, natural oak, leather, and aged brass for a grounded material palette.

LRV of Hope Chest
Hope Chest has an LRV of 13.13% 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 13.13%, 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.
