What color is Benjamin Moore Maple Shadows?
Benjamin Moore Maple Shadows 1022 is a muted medium-dark brown with a softened gray cast that keeps its warmth grounded rather than reddish. Its #836F5D color value suggests an earthy, low-saturation shade that can read like weathered wood or shaded taupe, depending on the surrounding finishes. In bright daylight, Maple Shadows should show more of its brown warmth, while lower or cooler light may bring its gray-brown side forward. It suits studies, dining rooms, entryways, and accent walls, and can also give cabinetry a substantial, furniture-like presence. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm stone, aged brass, natural oak, or charcoal accents for a layered palette.
LRV of Maple Shadows
Maple Shadows has an LRV of 17.66% 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 17.66%, 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.
