What color is Benjamin Moore Warm Brownie?
Benjamin Moore Warm Brownie 2101-30 is a mid-depth brown with a noticeable warm, reddish cast, reflected in its #7E554A color value. It reads fuller and earthier than a neutral taupe, with enough muted softness to keep the brown from feeling heavy. On walls, this shade can ground a dining room, den, or entryway, especially alongside creamy off-whites and warm beige trim. Pair it with natural oak, cognac leather, aged brass, or terracotta-toned textiles to emphasize its russet warmth. Warm Brownie also has enough depth for a painted accent wall or cabinetry where a softer alternative to near-black brown is wanted.
LRV of Warm Brownie
Warm Brownie has an LRV of 12.84% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 12.84%, 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.
