What color is Benjamin Moore Night Owl?
Benjamin Moore Night Owl CC-662 is a deep, muted olive-brown with a noticeable earthy cast. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded rather than green, while the brown undertone adds warmth and weight. In brighter daylight, Night Owl can read as a weathered khaki olive; under warm lamps, it shifts closer to a dark, softened brown. It suits studies, dining rooms, mudrooms, and cabinetry where a darker neutral can add definition without looking black. Pair it with warm ivory, clay-toned textiles, aged brass, walnut, and natural linen for a layered, material-focused palette.

LRV of Night Owl
Night Owl has an LRV of 10.07% 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 10.07%, 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.
