What color is Benjamin Moore Rustique?
Benjamin Moore Rustique AF-275 is a deep, earthy red-brown with clear rust and terracotta character. Its muted saturation keeps the color grounded rather than bright, while the brown base gives it substantial visual weight. In daylight, Rustique can read as a softened clay red; lower or warmer lighting draws out its darker, more umber-like side. It suits a dining room, library, or entry where a cocooning wall color feels appropriate, and it can also make a strong statement on cabinetry or a front door. Pair it with warm off-whites, weathered wood, aged brass, blackened metal, and natural linen for a material-focused palette.

LRV of Rustique
Rustique has an LRV of 9.69% 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 9.69%, 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.
