What color is Benjamin Moore Turmeric?
Benjamin Moore Turmeric 2160-20 is a deep golden ochre with a distinctly warm, earthy cast. Its #BA8744 value reads as a burnished yellow-brown rather than a bright citrus tone, giving it enough weight for dining rooms, studies, and sunlit entryways. In direct daylight, Turmeric can show more of its golden character, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its muted brown depth. It makes a strong choice for an accent wall, painted cabinetry, or a front door where its rich color can be appreciated up close. Pair it with soft cream, warm white, natural oak, aged brass, and charcoal for a grounded, layered interior.

LRV of Turmeric
Turmeric has an LRV of 26.62% 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 26.62%, 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.
