What color is Benjamin Moore Tweed Coat?
Benjamin Moore Tweed Coat CSP-85 is a muted mid-tone gray with a noticeable taupe cast, sitting comfortably between weathered stone and softened putty. Its low-saturation finish keeps it understated rather than stark, with a gentle warmth that can become more apparent beside crisp white trim. In daylight, this color may read as a quiet gray-beige, while lower or cooler light can pull forward its charcoal-gray side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and halls where a grounded wall color is wanted without the heaviness of a deep charcoal. Pair Tweed Coat with warm whites, natural oak, aged brass, linen upholstery, or dark brown accents for a layered, material-focused interior.

What are Benjamin Moore Tweed Coat undertones?
Tweed Coat is a midtone, very muted muted beige. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Tweed Coat
Tweed Coat has an LRV of 23.19% 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 23.19%, 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.
