What color is Benjamin Moore Toasted Pecan?
Benjamin Moore Toasted Pecan 1209 is a medium, muted brown with clear warm red and clay-like undertones. Its #A26E57 color value gives it an earthy cast that reads richer than beige but softer than a deep brick or mahogany. In bright daylight, Toasted Pecan can show more of its warm terracotta influence, while lower light brings out its grounded brown depth. It suits dining rooms, studies, entryways, or a powder room where a warmer wall color can create definition without feeling overly dark. Pair this shade with creamy off-whites, aged brass, natural oak, leather, and textured linen for a layered, material-focused interior.

LRV of Toasted Pecan
Toasted Pecan has an LRV of 19.87% 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 19.87%, 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.
