What color is Benjamin Moore Tea?
Benjamin Moore Tea 2091-10 is a deep, earthy red with a noticeable brown cast, giving it the look of aged brick or red clay rather than a bright crimson. Its warm, muted character can make a dining room, library, or powder room feel grounded and enveloping, especially on matte or low-sheen walls. In strong daylight, the red tone becomes more apparent; at night or in lower light, Tea settles into a darker brown-red. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, dark walnut, aged brass, and natural linen for a layered palette. It also has enough depth for a dramatic front door, built-in cabinetry, or an accent wall behind wood furnishings.

LRV of Tea
Tea has an LRV of 10.33% 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 10.33%, 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.
