What color is Benjamin Moore Masada?
Benjamin Moore Masada AF-220 is a medium-depth orange-brown with a clear earthy warmth. Its #A3673E color value reads as baked clay and warm wood, carrying more russet orange than yellow in most settings. In bright daylight, Masada can show its coppery character more clearly, while lower light gives it a deeper, grounded brown presence. It suits dining rooms, entryways, and studies, especially as an accent wall, painted cabinetry, or a front-door color. Pair it with creamy off-whites, muted olive greens, charcoal accents, and natural materials such as oak, leather, linen, or aged brass.

LRV of Masada
Masada has an LRV of 18.61% 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 18.61%, 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.
