What color is Benjamin Moore Apricot Tint?
Benjamin Moore Apricot Tint 086 is a very light, warm peach-beige with a creamy, sunlit cast. Its soft orange-pink undertone is noticeable without becoming sugary, giving white-adjacent walls a little more color and warmth. In bright daylight, this shade can read as a pale apricot cream, while evening light tends to bring out its gentle peach depth. It suits bedrooms, nurseries, breakfast areas, and powder rooms where a warmer alternative to ivory is wanted. Pair Apricot Tint with warm white trim, natural oak, woven linen, terracotta, or muted olive accents for a grounded, lived-in palette.
LRV of Apricot Tint
Apricot Tint has an LRV of 75.17% and refers to Off‑White 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 75.17%, 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.
