What color is Benjamin Moore Tawny Port?
Benjamin Moore Tawny Port 1281 is a muted mid-depth red with a soft brown cast and a gentle rosy undertone. Its restrained saturation keeps it from reading like a bright wine red, giving walls a grounded, lived-in color presence instead. In warm daylight, Tawny Port can show more of its earthy red character, while cooler or dimmer light may bring out its dusky mauve side. It suits dining rooms, studies, powder rooms, or an accent wall where a deeper color is welcome without feeling overly sharp. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, aged brass, walnut wood, and natural linen for a room with layered warmth.

LRV of Tawny Port
Tawny Port has an LRV of 13.51% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 13.51%, 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.
