What color is Benjamin Moore Mexican Tile?
Benjamin Moore Mexican Tile 1194 is a muted clay-toned color with warm terracotta, peach, and softened brown notes. Its mid-depth value gives walls noticeable color without the heaviness of a dark rust. In bright daylight, Mexican Tile can read as a dusty warm coral, while lower or warmer light draws out its earthier brown base. It suits dining rooms, entryways, and powder rooms where a grounded, sun-baked tone feels appropriate. Pair it with creamy off-whites, pale sand, natural oak, woven fibers, and aged brass for a warm, material-focused palette.

LRV of Mexican Tile
Mexican Tile has an LRV of 30.31% 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 30.31%, 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.
