What color is Benjamin Moore Raleigh Tan?
Benjamin Moore Raleigh Tan CW-190 is a light, warm tan with a muted sandy-beige cast. Its #CCAF92 color value suggests a gentle golden warmth tempered by a soft, earthy depth rather than a bright yellow appearance. In daylight, Raleigh Tan can read as an airy buff neutral, while warmer evening light may bring forward its subtle peachy-brown character. It suits living rooms, dining areas, and hallways where a warmer neutral is wanted without the heaviness of a deeper brown. Pair it with creamy off-whites, natural oak, woven fibers, aged brass, and muted olive or terracotta accents.

LRV of Raleigh Tan
Raleigh Tan has an LRV of 45.31% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 45.31%, 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.
