Reading

LRV is how much light a color reflects, from 0 for black to 100 for pure white.

At LRV 25 it absorbs roughly three-quarters of the light that falls on it.

Aura Interior and Regal Select Interior are the lines we would use indoors. This is an interior-only color.

It works across a whole room with good south-facing windows, and as a single wall, a cabinet body or an accent anywhere else.

Matte or eggshell on walls — at this depth eggshell handles scuffs and touch-ups better than matte. Soft gloss on doors.

Benjamin Moore lists CSP-1045 as an interior color, so only the interior lines are listed. Tinted while you wait at the counter. Ask for a quote and we’ll call back with the price and have it mixed for pickup; sample pints are mixed the same way.

Questions

  • Will it look like this on my wall?

    Not exactly. Screens vary and paint shifts with the light in the room. Pick up a sample before you commit to a wall — put it up for a full day so you see it in morning light, afternoon light and lamplight before the gallons get tinted.

  • Is it approved for my HOA?

    That depends on your community, not on the color alone. Search your HOA to see its approved palette, then bring the scheme in and we will tell you how Wet Clay compares. Committees approve colors, not brands, so a Benjamin Moore can is fine as long as the color matches the approved sheet.

  • Which line for a west-facing exterior?

    CSP-1045 is an interior-only color, so we would not put it on a west wall in any line. Bring a photo of the wall to the counter and we will find the closest color that is rated for exterior use.

  • Can you match it in another brand?

    We tint Benjamin Moore. CSP-1045 is a native Benjamin Moore formula, so there is nothing to approximate here — it comes out of the machine as published. If you have a Dunn‑Edwards code, Benjamin Moore already has that formula too. For a chip or a lid with no code, bring it in and we will read it and tell you how close we can get.
