What color is Benjamin Moore Westwood Tan?
Benjamin Moore Westwood Tan 256 is a mid-tone tan with a noticeable golden-yellow cast, reflected in its warm #C9B37A color value. It reads brighter and more sunlit than a muted beige, especially in rooms with natural southern or western light. On walls, Westwood Tan can bring definition to living rooms, dining areas, or hallways without becoming as heavy as a darker ochre. Pair it with creamy off-whites, medium wood furniture, woven natural fibers, and deep olive or charcoal accents for contrast. In lower light, this color may appear more subdued and earthy, with its gold tones becoming less pronounced.

LRV of Westwood Tan
Westwood Tan has an LRV of 44.54% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 44.54%, 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.
