What color is Benjamin Moore Rio Rancho Clay?
Benjamin Moore Rio Rancho Clay 111 is a medium-light clay orange with a clear warm, earthy cast. Its muted terracotta character keeps the color grounded rather than overly bright, while soft peach-brown undertones give it a sunbaked look. In bright daylight, Rio Rancho Clay can read warmer and more orange; lower light may draw out its deeper brown notes. It suits dining rooms, entryways, and exterior accents where a noticeable warm color is welcome. Pair it with creamy off-whites, weathered wood, matte black details, or dusty blue-green accents for contrast.

LRV of Rio Rancho Clay
Rio Rancho Clay has an LRV of 34% 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 34%, 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.
