What color is Benjamin Moore Rural Earth?
Benjamin Moore Rural Earth 1239 is a deep, muted brown with a noticeable warm cast and a soft gray-brown restraint. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly red or orange, giving walls a grounded, earthy look in daylight. In brighter rooms, Rural Earth can appear like a softened cocoa brown, while lower light draws out its darker, more shadowed character. It suits studies, dining rooms, entryways, and cabinetry where a substantial color can define the architecture. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm beige textiles, black metal, aged brass, and natural wood for a layered, material-focused interior.

LRV of Rural Earth
Rural Earth has an LRV of 9.72% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 9.72%, 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.
