Benjamin Moore

Tea

2091-10

Tea (2091-10) is a deep, muted red from Benjamin Moore with pronounced brown and subtle orange undertones. Its LRV of 10.33 places it firmly in the low-reflectance category, meaning it absorbs significant light and reads as a dark, heavy tone on walls. The brown component tempers any brightness from the red base, giving it a rooted, brick-adjacent quality.

Within the Benjamin Moore range, it coordinates with Rustic Brick, Chestertown Buff, Arctic Seal, Powell Buff, and Indian White, where lighter and cooler companions provide necessary tonal relief.

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.
