What color is Benjamin Moore Wynwood?
Benjamin Moore Wynwood 1231 is a muted medium brown with a noticeable earthy red cast, softened by gray-brown depth. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly orange, giving walls a grounded, clay-like presence rather than a bright terracotta effect. In warm daylight, Wynwood can reveal more of its russet warmth, while cooler light emphasizes its subdued cocoa and weathered-wood character. It is especially effective in dining rooms, studies, entryways, or on cabinetry where a deeper color can add definition without feeling nearly black. Pair it with creamy off-whites, dusty beige, aged brass, cognac leather, and natural oak for a layered, material-focused interior.

LRV of Wynwood
Wynwood has an LRV of 13.24% 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 13.24%, 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.
