What color is Benjamin Moore Abingdon Putty?
Benjamin Moore Abingdon Putty HC-99 is a light, muted beige with a noticeable warm khaki-yellow cast. Its softened, low-saturation appearance keeps it from reading overly creamy, giving walls a gently earthy look instead. In bright daylight, this color can appear paler and more oat-like, while lower or warmer light may bring out its putty and olive-leaning undertones. It suits living rooms, halls, and bedrooms where natural wood, linen, aged brass, or woven textures are part of the scheme. Pair Abingdon Putty with off-white trim, deep olive accents, charcoal, or weathered brown furniture for definition.

LRV of Abingdon Putty
Abingdon Putty has an LRV of 59.99% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 59.99%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
