What color is Benjamin Moore Wythe Tan?
Benjamin Moore Wythe Tan CW-415 is a light, muted tan with a noticeable golden-yellow cast and a softly earthy character. Its low-contrast depth keeps it from reading as bright yellow, while the beige base makes it feel grounded on broad wall surfaces. In direct daylight, Wythe Tan can appear sunnier and more straw-like; under warm lamps, it settles into a deeper honeyed beige. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, and living areas where warm wood, natural linen, woven fibers, or aged brass are part of the palette. Pair it with creamy off-whites, medium brown woods, olive-leaning greens, or charcoal accents for definition.

LRV of Wythe Tan
Wythe Tan has an LRV of 61.13% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 61.13%, 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.
