What color is Benjamin Moore Alpaca?
Benjamin Moore Alpaca 1074 is a light, muted beige with a noticeable warm sand cast. Its #DDC9AC value suggests soft golden-tan and slightly peachy undertones rather than a cool gray-beige appearance. In bright daylight, Alpaca can read as a pale oatmeal neutral, while evening or incandescent light brings out its warmer, honeyed side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a gentle beige is wanted without the heaviness of a deeper tan. Pair it with creamy whites, natural oak, linen upholstery, terracotta accents, or dark bronze hardware for contrast.

LRV of Alpaca
Alpaca has an LRV of 58.73% 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 58.73%, 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.
