What color is Benjamin Moore Oregon Trail?
Benjamin Moore Oregon Trail 1230 is a muted, medium-dark brown with a clear warm cast and a subtle red-clay influence. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading too heavy, giving walls a grounded, earthy presence rather than a sharp chocolate look. In bright daylight, the color can show more of its dusty terracotta-brown character, while evening light pulls it toward a deeper, cozier brown. Oregon Trail suits a dining room, study, entry, or den, especially when paired with creamy off-whites, warm beige textiles, and natural oak or walnut. It also makes a convincing choice for an accent wall or painted cabinetry alongside aged brass, leather, and matte black details.

LRV of Oregon Trail
Oregon Trail has an LRV of 14.75% 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 14.75%, 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.
