What color is Benjamin Moore Rich Clay Brown?
Benjamin Moore Rich Clay Brown 2164-30 is a medium-dark earthy brown with clear warm, muted orange undertones. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading overly red or overly chocolate, giving walls a grounded, sun-baked appearance. In bright natural light, this color can show more of its warm clay-like cast, while evening light deepens it toward a richer brown. Use it in a dining room, den, entryway, or on built-in cabinetry where its depth can define the architecture. Pair Rich Clay Brown with warm ivory, putty beige, aged brass, natural oak, linen, and matte black details for a layered, material-focused room.
LRV of Rich Clay Brown
Rich Clay Brown has an LRV of 15.93% 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 15.93%, 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.
