What color is Benjamin Moore Savannah Clay?
Benjamin Moore Savannah Clay 047 is a warm, muted clay tone with a softly weathered mix of terracotta, rose, and beige. Its medium depth gives it enough presence for a living room or dining room wall without reading as overly dark or intensely red. In bright natural light, Savannah Clay can appear lighter and slightly peachier, while lower light brings out its earthier, dustier character. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupes, natural oak, linen upholstery, and aged brass for a grounded palette. It also makes a considered choice for a powder room, entryway, or painted cabinet where a warm color can provide clear definition.

LRV of Savannah Clay
Savannah Clay has an LRV of 29.84% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 29.84%, 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.
