What color is Benjamin Moore Apples and Pears?

Its high value keeps the color airy on broad walls, while the muted saturation prevents it from reading like a sharp citrus yellow. In bright daylight, Apples and Pears can appear cleaner and greener; warmer evening bulbs tend to bring its yellow undertone forward. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, mudrooms, or a child’s room, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, and soft gray-green accents. For a more defined application, use this shade on cabinetry or a single painted built-in against neutral walls.

LRV of Apples and Pears

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 72.97%, 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.
