What color is Benjamin Moore Scarecrow?
Benjamin Moore Scarecrow 1041 is a muted golden tan with soft brown and khaki undertones. Its medium depth gives it more presence than a pale beige, while the subdued saturation keeps it from reading overly yellow. In bright daylight, Scarecrow can show its warm wheat-like cast; in lower or north-facing light, it may settle into a quieter, earthier brown-beige. It is well suited to living rooms, dining rooms, hallways, and studies where a grounded wall color is wanted. Pair it with creamy off-whites, dark wood furniture, aged brass, leather, and olive or charcoal accents for a layered, natural-looking palette.

LRV of Scarecrow
Scarecrow has an LRV of 28.51% 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 28.51%, 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.
