What color is Benjamin Moore Apricot Beige?

Benjamin Moore Apricot Beige 1205 is a light, warm beige with a noticeable peachy cast that keeps it from reading flat or gray. Its soft, muted color value gives walls a gentle warmth without the stronger saturation of a true apricot. In daylight, Apricot Beige can appear creamy and lightly rosy, while warmer evening light may bring out more of its peach undertone. It suits bedrooms, dining rooms, and hallways where a pale neutral with a little color feels more appropriate than plain off-white. Pair it with ivory trim, natural oak, woven linen, and clay-toned ceramics, or add contrast through deep brown wood and muted olive accents.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 54.94%, 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.
