What color is Benjamin Moore Alexandria Beige?

Alexandria Beige suits living room walls, halls, and exterior siding where a grounded neutral is wanted without stark contrast. Pair it with creamy off-whites, dark brown wood, aged brass, charcoal textiles, or natural stone.

LRV of Alexandria Beige
Alexandria Beige has an LRV of 29.03% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 29.03%, 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.
