What color is Benjamin Moore Mocha Brown?
Benjamin Moore Mocha Brown 2107-20 is a deep, muted brown with a clear warm cast and a softly earthy appearance. Its low-light depth makes it especially effective for library walls, dining rooms, entry doors, or built-in cabinetry where a darker finish can define the architecture. In bright daylight, the brown reads more clearly; in dimmer rooms, it settles into a richer, more shadowed tone. Pair Mocha Brown with creamy off-whites, warm beige upholstery, aged brass, natural oak, or textured linen to keep the overall palette grounded.

LRV of Mocha Brown
Mocha Brown has an LRV of 10.16% 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 10.16%, 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.
