What color is Benjamin Moore Topaz?
Benjamin Moore Topaz 070 is a medium-depth clay orange with clear red-brown warmth. Its earthy saturation gives it presence without reading as sharply bright, making it especially effective on a dining room wall, a front door, or painted cabinetry. In strong daylight, the orange side comes forward, while lower or warmer light draws out its deeper terracotta-brown character. Pair Topaz with creamy off-whites, warm putty neutrals, aged brass, walnut, and natural linen for a grounded, material-rich look. Cool blue-green accents can also provide a crisp contrast, though they will make this shade appear warmer by comparison.

LRV of Topaz
Topaz has an LRV of 22.37% 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 22.37%, 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.
