What color is Benjamin Moore Serengeti Sand?
Benjamin Moore Serengeti Sand 2164-40 is a medium, muted tan with a clear warm cast and soft clay-brown depth. Its balanced saturation keeps it from reading too yellow, while the rosy-beige influence gives it a slightly sun-baked appearance. In bright daylight, this shade can look lighter and more beige; under warm evening lighting, its earthy brown notes become more noticeable. It suits living rooms, dining spaces, and bedrooms where a grounded wall color is wanted without going as dark as a traditional brown. Pair it with creamy off-whites, weathered wood, woven textures, black metal details, or muted olive accents for a layered, natural-looking palette.

LRV of Serengeti Sand
Serengeti Sand has an LRV of 30.22% 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 30.22%, 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.
