What color is Benjamin Moore Peanut Shell?
Benjamin Moore Peanut Shell 2162-40 is a muted, medium-light tan with a clear golden-brown cast. Its warm ochre undertone keeps it from reading like a flat beige, giving walls a sun-baked, earthy appearance in daylight. In lower light, Peanut Shell can look deeper and more caramel-toned, while bright natural light brings out its softened honey notes. It suits living rooms, dining areas, entryways, and studies where a warmer neutral is wanted without going overly dark. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, charcoal accents, aged brass, natural oak, and woven materials such as linen or rattan.

LRV of Peanut Shell
Peanut Shell has an LRV of 35.18% 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 35.18%, 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.
