What color is Benjamin Moore Taupe Fedora?
Benjamin Moore Taupe Fedora CSP-260 is a muted mid-tone taupe with a warm, earthy cast that sits between weathered brown and softened gray. Its low-key saturation keeps it grounded rather than overly beige, giving walls a substantial but not heavy presence. In bright daylight, Taupe Fedora can read as a dry, natural taupe; under warmer evening lighting, its brown notes become more noticeable. It suits living rooms, studies, dining rooms, and bedrooms where a deeper neutral is wanted without the starkness of charcoal. Pair it with creamy off-whites, blackened bronze hardware, natural oak, linen upholstery, and stone or leather finishes.
LRV of Taupe Fedora
Taupe Fedora has an LRV of 24.24% 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 24.24%, 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.
