What color is Benjamin Moore Maryville Brown?
Benjamin Moore Maryville Brown HC-75 is a medium-depth brown with a warm, softened cast that keeps it from reading too dark or heavy. Its #9D7756 color value suggests gentle earthy notes of clay, caramel, and weathered wood rather than a sharp chocolate brown. In bright natural light, Maryville Brown can appear lighter and more tan-forward, while lower light brings out its richer brown base. It suits dining rooms, studies, entryways, and exterior trim, and can also give wood cabinetry a grounded, traditional look. Pair this shade with creamy off-whites, muted olive greens, aged brass, natural linen, and oak or walnut finishes.

LRV of Maryville Brown
Maryville Brown has an LRV of 21.58% 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 21.58%, 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.
