What color is Benjamin Moore Woodcliff Lake?
Benjamin Moore Woodcliff Lake 980 is a muted, medium-depth gray-brown with a noticeably warm cast. Its softened, low-saturation appearance keeps it from reading too heavy, while subtle taupe and earthy olive notes may emerge depending on the light around it. In bright natural light, Woodcliff Lake can look like a weathered warm gray; under lamps or evening light, it tends to settle into a deeper brownish neutral. It is well suited to studies, dining rooms, mudrooms, or cabinetry where a grounded color is wanted without using a near-black. Pair it with creamy off-whites, aged brass, natural oak, stone, and charcoal accents for a restrained, material-focused palette.
LRV of Woodcliff Lake
Woodcliff Lake has an LRV of 16.93% 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 16.93%, 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.
