What color is Benjamin Moore Raccoon Hollow?
Benjamin Moore Raccoon Hollow 978 is a muted mid-tone taupe with a noticeable beige-khaki cast. Its softened gray component keeps the color from reading too golden, while the warm brown undertone gives it more presence than a standard greige. In bright daylight, Raccoon Hollow can appear like a weathered tan; under warmer evening lighting, its earthy warmth becomes more apparent. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a grounded neutral is wanted without using stark gray or cream. Pair it with off-white trim, natural oak, aged brass, charcoal accents, or deep olive textiles for a layered, material-focused interior.

LRV of Raccoon Hollow
Raccoon Hollow has an LRV of 28.76% 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 28.76%, 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.
