What color is Benjamin Moore Tavern Ochre?
Benjamin Moore Tavern Ochre CW-375 is a warm, muted golden tan with a clear ochre cast and softly earthy depth. Its #D6AE73 color value reads brighter and more honeyed in direct daylight, while lower or warmer lighting can bring out its toasted, brown-leaning side. This shade has enough saturation to hold its own on a dining room wall, entryway, or covered porch without feeling overly bright. Pair Tavern Ochre with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, aged bronze, and natural wood for a grounded, layered look. It also makes a pleasing accent on cabinetry or built-ins where its warm yellow undertone can contrast with darker hardware.

LRV of Tavern Ochre
Tavern Ochre has an LRV of 45.61% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 45.61%, 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.
