What color is Benjamin Moore Tamarind?

Benjamin Moore Tamarind AF-120 is a muted, medium-depth brown with a clear warm cast and softened gray-brown restraint. Its #736046 value reads like an earthy blend of brown, khaki, and subdued olive, rather than a sharp chocolate or orange-toned tan. In bright daylight, Tamarind can appear more weathered and taupe-like, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its deeper brown character. It gives dining rooms, studies, and entryway walls a grounded look, and it also has enough depth for painted cabinetry or a built-in. Pair it with creamy off-whites, aged brass, natural oak, woven linen, and charcoal accents for a room with layered, natural materials.

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 13.84%, 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.
