What color is Benjamin Moore Riverbank?
Benjamin Moore Riverbank CSP-355 is a muted mid-tone brown with a noticeable rosy cast, giving it the look of weathered clay or softened cocoa. Its red and beige leanings keep the color warm, while its grayed-down finish prevents it from reading too sweet or overtly pink. In bright natural light, Riverbank can appear lighter and more taupe-like; lower or warmer lighting brings out its deeper cinnamon-brown character. It suits dining rooms, bedrooms, and studies where a grounded wall color is wanted, and it also has enough depth for painted cabinetry or a front door. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm charcoal, aged brass, natural oak, linen, and terracotta-toned textiles.

LRV of Riverbank
Riverbank has an LRV of 18.4% 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 18.4%, 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.
