What color is Benjamin Moore Satchel?
Benjamin Moore Satchel AF-240 is a deep, earthy brown with a noticeable red-orange cast that keeps it from reading flat or charcoal-like. Its mid-to-dark value gives walls a grounded presence, especially in dining rooms, studies, entryways, or cozy den spaces. In bright daylight, the warm rust-brown notes become clearer, while lower light can make this shade appear richer and more shadowed. Satchel pairs well with creamy off-whites, muted clay tones, aged brass, cognac leather, and natural wood with visible grain. Use it for an enveloping full-room look or on cabinetry, built-ins, and an accent wall where its depth can define the architecture.

LRV of Satchel
Satchel has an LRV of 11.8% 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 11.8%, 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.
