What color is Benjamin Moore Warm Tan?
Benjamin Moore Warm Tan 2162-30 is a medium-depth earthy brown with a clear golden ochre cast. Its #997245 color value gives it a sun-baked look, reading richer and more amber in warm afternoon light while appearing slightly more muted under cooler daylight. Warm Tan has enough saturation to hold its own on a dining room wall, den, or covered porch, especially alongside cream trim and natural wood. Pair it with woven linen, cognac leather, aged brass, and matte black details for a grounded, layered interior. On cabinetry or an accent wall, this shade can bring substantial warmth without drifting into a pale beige.

LRV of Warm Tan
Warm Tan has an LRV of 18.78% 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 18.78%, 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.
