What color is Benjamin Moore Plymouth Brown?
Benjamin Moore Plymouth Brown HC-73 is a muted medium-dark brown with a clear warm, earthy cast. Its #7F664E value suggests a blend of softened brown and tan that can read slightly more golden in direct afternoon light, while appearing deeper and more grounded in shaded rooms. Use it on a study wall, dining room paneling, or kitchen cabinetry when the goal is a substantial color without the near-black effect of very dark brown. Plymouth Brown pairs naturally with warm ivory, aged brass, cognac leather, and oak or walnut wood. On an exterior, it can give shutters, doors, or trim a solid, weathered-looking presence against lighter neutral siding.

LRV of Plymouth Brown
Plymouth Brown has an LRV of 13.98% 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 13.98%, 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.
