What color is Benjamin Moore Wet Clay?
Benjamin Moore Wet Clay CSP-1045 is a muted mid-tone brown with a dry, earthy cast and softly warm beige undertones. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly golden, giving the color a grounded, slightly weathered look rather than a rich chocolate-brown feel. In bright daylight, Wet Clay can show more of its tan and khaki character, while lower or warmer light brings out its deeper brown base. It is especially well suited to studies, dining rooms, mudrooms, or cabinetry where a substantial neutral is wanted without going too dark. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, aged brass, natural oak, leather, and woven textiles for a layered interior palette.
LRV of Wet Clay
Wet Clay has an LRV of 24.51% 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 24.51%, 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.
