What color is Benjamin Moore Allspice?
Benjamin Moore Allspice 2101-50 is a muted, mid-tone pink-beige with a soft dustiness that keeps it from reading overly sweet. Its warmth is noticeable, though the gray cast in the color gives it a grounded, slightly weathered look rather than a bright rosy one. In daylight, it can show more of its subdued blush character; under warm bulbs, it may lean closer to a cozy clay-beige. This shade is especially appealing on bedroom, dining room, or powder room walls, where its gentle color presence can carry a room without feeling loud. Pair Allspice with creamy off-whites, warm taupe upholstery, natural oak, aged brass, or charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Allspice
Allspice has an LRV of 43.31% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 43.31%, 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.
