What color is Benjamin Moore Montana Agate?
Benjamin Moore Montana Agate 056 is a muted terracotta with a clay-red base softened by dusty rose and brown undertones. Its medium depth gives walls noticeable color without reading overly bright, especially alongside warm white trim or natural oak. In direct daylight, Montana Agate can show a sun-baked coral cast, while lower or north-facing light brings out its earthier, more subdued side. It suits dining rooms, powder rooms, and entryways where a grounded warm color can define the space, and it also makes a strong accent on cabinetry or a front door. Pair it with creamy neutrals, deep olive green, aged brass, linen, and dark wood for a layered, material-focused interior.

LRV of Montana Agate
Montana Agate has an LRV of 22.2% 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 22.2%, 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.
