What color is Benjamin Moore Mustang?
Benjamin Moore Mustang 2111-30 is a deep, muted brown with a noticeable gray cast and soft earthy warmth. Its #68574A value reads as a weathered taupe-brown rather than a rich chocolate, giving it a restrained, low-saturation appearance. In bright daylight, the gray-brown character becomes clearer, while evening light can draw out its warmer, slightly clay-like side. Use it on a study wall, dining room cabinetry, or an exterior front door where its depth can anchor lighter trim. Pair Mustang with creamy off-whites, muted olive greens, black metal, natural oak, and aged brass for a grounded material palette.

LRV of Mustang
Mustang has an LRV of 10.79% 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 10.79%, 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.
