What color is Benjamin Moore Taos Taupe?
Benjamin Moore Taos Taupe 2111-40 is a muted, medium-depth taupe with a softly warm gray-brown cast. Its low saturation keeps it understated rather than noticeably beige, making the color feel grounded on broad wall surfaces. In bright natural light, Taos Taupe can read as a gentle weathered gray with a hint of warmth; under warmer lamps, its brown side becomes more apparent. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where crisp white trim, charcoal accents, natural oak, linen, and aged brass can give the shade useful contrast.

LRV of Taos Taupe
Taos Taupe has an LRV of 23.65% 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 23.65%, 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.
