Benjamin Moore

Brickyard Clay

CW-235

Brickyard Clay is a warm red with brown undertones. Its LRV of 19.58 places it in a dark mid range, so it reads strong without turning black. It can be used in dining rooms, accent walls, or entryways where an earthy red is needed.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore Simply White and Linen White for light contrast, and with Hale Navy or Hunter Green for depth; Potters Clay or Edgecomb Gray can support the warm range.

Brickyard Clay 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.
