What color is Benjamin Moore Natural Brown?
Benjamin Moore Natural Brown 2103-10 is a deep, earthy brown with a noticeable red cast that keeps it from reading flat or nearly black. Its richness is especially effective on cabinetry, a library wall, or a dining room where darker color can create visual weight. In bright daylight, the warm reddish undertone becomes clearer, while low or artificial light can make the shade appear more grounded and shadowy. Pair it with creamy off-whites, muted clay tones, aged brass, and medium-to-dark wood for a layered palette. Natural Brown also has enough depth for a front door or exterior trim when balanced by a lighter surrounding color.

LRV of Natural Brown
Natural Brown has an LRV of 7.6% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 7.6%, 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.
