What color is Benjamin Moore Runyon Canyon Tan?
Benjamin Moore Runyon Canyon Tan 1140 is a medium-depth earthy brown with a clear warm, clay-like cast. Its #9C6E49 color value gives it a muted orange-brown undertone rather than a pale beige appearance, so it reads with more substance on large walls. In bright daylight, the color can show its sunbaked terracotta side, while lower or warmer light brings out a deeper, wood-toned brown. It suits dining rooms, dens, entryways, or exterior details where a grounded neutral is wanted. Pair Runyon Canyon Tan with creamy off-whites, warm charcoal, aged brass, natural oak, and textured linen for a layered, material-focused look.

LRV of Runyon Canyon Tan
Runyon Canyon Tan has an LRV of 18.27% 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 18.27%, 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.
