What color is Benjamin Moore Warm Apple Crisp?
Benjamin Moore Warm Apple Crisp 1091 is a medium, earthy caramel brown with clear golden-orange warmth. Its muted depth keeps it from reading overly bright, giving walls a grounded color that feels especially at home in dining rooms, entryways, and den-like spaces. In strong daylight, the warm ochre and softened terracotta notes become more apparent; evening light tends to draw it toward a deeper brown. Warm Apple Crisp pairs naturally with creamy off-whites, aged brass, honey-toned wood, leather, and textured linen. Use it for an all-over wall color where a substantial warm neutral is wanted, or on cabinetry and a front door for a richer focal point.

LRV of Warm Apple Crisp
Warm Apple Crisp has an LRV of 25.52% 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 25.52%, 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.
