What color is Benjamin Moore Rich Chestnut?

Benjamin Moore Rich Chestnut 2090-20 is a deep, earthy red with a noticeable brown cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its warm, clay-like character can read as a softened brick red in daylight and settle into a darker red-brown under evening lamps. Rich Chestnut has enough depth for a dining room, library, or powder room, where its saturated color can hold its own across full walls. It also makes a strong choice for cabinetry, a front door, or a single fireplace wall paired with creamy off-whites, warm beige, and natural wood. Blackened metal, aged brass, cognac leather, and terracotta-toned textiles reinforce this shade’s substantial, warm character.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 12.32%, 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.
