What color is Benjamin Moore Trench Coat?
Benjamin Moore Trench Coat CSP-1020 is a muted, medium-light tan with a warm golden cast and a softly weathered look. Its brown-beige base keeps it grounded rather than yellow, while the subdued saturation helps it read as calm and earthy on broad walls. In bright daylight, Trench Coat can appear lighter and more sand-colored; lower or warmer light brings out its deeper caramel-brown side. It suits living rooms, entryways, and bedrooms with natural oak, woven linen, aged brass, or cognac leather. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, or deep olive for contrast that still feels connected to its warm undertone.

LRV of Trench Coat
Trench Coat has an LRV of 35.57% 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 35.57%, 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.
