Benjamin Moore

Rustic Brick

2091-20

Rustic Brick is a darkened red-brown with evenly split red and brown undertones, producing a grounded, matte-reading tone at an LRV of 11.01. The low reflectance means it absorbs most ambient light, and on large surfaces it can make a room feel significantly smaller and darker. The brown content prevents it from reading as a true red, anchoring it firmly in the earth-tone range.

Benjamin Moore Simply White and White Dove supply necessary brightness as trim or ceiling partners. Edgecomb Gray and Revere Pewter work as mid-tone neutral companions, and Hale Navy introduces a deep complementary contrast.

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.
