What color is Benjamin Moore Marsh Brown?
Benjamin Moore Marsh Brown 2164-20 is a medium-deep brown with a clear warm, earthy cast. Its #7E583D color value suggests subdued reddish-orange undertones, giving the shade more character than a flat chocolate brown. In bright daylight, Marsh Brown can read as a grounded clay-brown, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its richer, slightly russet side. It suits dining rooms, studies, mudrooms, and powder rooms where a darker wall color can add definition without reading nearly black. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupes, aged brass, natural oak, and textured linen for a layered, material-focused look.

LRV of Marsh Brown
Marsh Brown has an LRV of 11.95% 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 11.95%, 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.
