What color is Benjamin Moore Sedona Clay?

Benjamin Moore Sedona Clay 2174-30 is a medium-depth clay red with warm terracotta and brown undertones. Its muted saturation keeps the color grounded rather than overly orange, giving walls a substantial, earthy presence. In bright daylight, Sedona Clay can show more of its sunbaked red-orange character, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its softer brown cast. It suits dining rooms, entryways, powder rooms, or an accent wall where a richer color can define the space. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, natural oak, aged brass, woven textiles, and matte black details for contrast.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 18.08%, 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.
