Benjamin Moore

Barnwood

CSP-115

Barnwood is a neutral gray with brown undertones that keep it warm. Its LRV of 22.13 indicates low reflectance, so it reads dark on broad walls. Warm light brings the brown note forward a bit more.

It is suitable for living rooms, offices, or accent walls where a deeper neutral is needed. Pair it with White Dove and Classic Gray for balance, and add Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal for contrast.

Barnwood in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
