What color is Benjamin Moore Tarpley Brown?
Benjamin Moore Tarpley Brown CW-170 is a deep, muted brown with a noticeable warm red cast beneath its dark surface. Its low-light value gives it a grounded, enveloping look, especially in studies, dining rooms, or on built-in cabinetry. In bright daylight, the brown reads clearer and slightly earthier, while evening light brings out its richer, shadowed character. Pair Tarpley Brown with creamy off-whites, warm taupes, aged brass, cognac leather, or natural oak to keep the palette cohesive. It is particularly effective as an accent wall, exterior trim, or a full-room color where a darker finish is desired.

LRV of Tarpley Brown
Tarpley Brown has an LRV of 6.24% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 6.24%, 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.
